Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Venison steaks
- 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 Cooking spray
Instructions
Place the venison steaks between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk and egg whites until well combined.
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Dip each venison steak into the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray generously with cooking spray.
Add the coated venison steaks to the skillet, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook each steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Spray a little more cooking spray if needed when flipping the steaks.
Remove the cooked steaks from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve immediately while hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for extra freshness.
