Season the deer steaks on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let them rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes or bowls. Fill the first dish with all-purpose flour. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. In the third dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and paprika.
Dredge each seasoned deer steak in flour, making sure to coat evenly and shake off any excess.
Dip the floured steak into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely covered and allowing any excess to drip off.
Press the steak into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it thoroughly on all sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Carefully place the breaded steaks into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown and the meat is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Transfer the cooked deer steaks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
