Description

This country fried steak recipe uses cube steaks, breaded with a seasoned flour and crushed cracker coating, then pan-fried. Serve with gravy and potatoes.

Ingredients

1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning
4 (4 ounce) cube steaks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

1 Whisk milk and egg together in a shallow bowl; set aside. Whisk flour, crushed saltines, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and steak seasoning together in a separate shallow bowl; set aside.
2 Dip 1 steak into egg mixture. Lift up so excess mixture drips back into the bowl. Press into flour mixture, patting into steak to coat completely. Place coated steak, unstacked onto a plate. Repeat with remaining 3 steaks.
3 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add steaks; fry until golden brown, firm, hot in the center, and just turning from pink to grey, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
