Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cube steaks
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, and eggs until combined.
Pat the cube steaks dry with paper towels. Dredge each steak in the seasoned flour mixture, then dip it into the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat it again in the flour mixture. Ensure each steak is fully coated for a crispy crust.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Carefully place the coated steaks into the skillet, cooking two at a time to avoid overcrowding. Cook each steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining steaks.
Serve the spicy country fried steaks hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or coleslaw.
