Ingredients
  

  • 2 c flour
  • 2 c buttermilk
  • 5 eggs
  • 4 cubed beef steaks
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 1/3 tsp pepper
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • In one bowl, add the buttermilk. In another bowl, add the eggs.
  • On a plate, add the flour and spices and stir them together with a fork. You can use a bowl, but I find that a plate works better.
  • Heat your vegetable oil in a frying pan to 350 degrees.
  • Dip the beef steaks into the buttermilk, then flour, then egg, then flour again. This is what will make that flaky crunchy crust on the outside of the beef steaks.
  • Fry the breaded steaks until they are golden brown on the outside. About 5 to 7 minutes.

Notes

If you are making a large batch and need to keep the cooked steaks warm, do so in the oven. To do this, heat the oven to about 170 degrees. After the steak has been cooked, take it out of the frying pan and place it onto the baking sheet in the oven.
This will not only keep the steaks warm but will also help dry up some of the extra grease.
