Servings 8 people
Ingredients
- 1 family pack cubed steak I used 8 pieces
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Instructions
- Combine buttermilk, eggs, and hot sauce in a bowl and mix well.
- Add the cubed steak making sure it's completely submerged in the buttermilk. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours if you have time. If not, no worries, continue on with the recipe and it will still be great.
- In a bowl or large container, mix together flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne. **If you like it spicier, add more seasonings. You may also need more flour so adjust as needed.
- Take the cubed steaks out of the refrigerator (if you did this step). Dip steaks one at a time in flour mixture, coating both sides, then back again in marinade mixture and again in flour mixture.
- Place on a baking sheet in a single layer while the oil heats.
- Add oil to a cast iron skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry each steak on both sides until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels. If desired, place on a parchment covered baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while you finish cooking the steaks.
