Servings: 6 Servings
Ingredients
- 6 large cube steaks
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour, divided
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons Slap Ya Mama® seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1+ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Pour oil into a large cast iron pan about ¼" high and heat over medium heat. Make sure that the oil is heated just right. When you flick a little water into the oil and it crackles and you see it glistening, then it's just right.
- Dry off each steak with paper towels to absorb the extra liquid.
- While the oil is heating up, prepare 3 different shallow bowls that are big enough for the steaks. Divide the flour in half, and in the first bowl put half of the flour, the second bowl has eggs and buttermilk whisked together, and the third bowl has the other half of the flour mixed with all the seasonings, parsley, and red pepper flakes.
- Once the oil is hot, place one steak into the flour mixture, then to the egg mixture, and finally into the seasoned flour mixture, then into the hot oil.
- Place two steaks at a time into the pan and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Once the first two steaks are cooked, place on a plate lined with paper towels and place into a preheated oven at 175° to keep warm while the rest of the steaks are being cooked.
- Repeat the coating process for the other remaining steaks. Make sure to coat the steaks right before they are going into the hot oil.
