Ingredients
- oil for frying
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup saltine cracker crumbs
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 pound tenderized cube steaks
Instructions
- Pour 3 to 4 inches of oil into a deep fryer or large pot, and heat the oil to 350°F.
- Combine the flour, cracker crumbs, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Mix well.
- In another shallow dish, combine the buttermilk and water. Mix well.
- Dip the cube steaks into the flour mixture and shake off the excess.
- Dip the flour-coated cube steaks into the buttermilk, shake off the excess.
- Dredge the cube steaks in the flour again.
- Place the breaded steaks on a wire rack resting on a baking sheet. Allow the breading to set up for 5 minutes. This helps to set the breading on the steak.
- Place the breaded steaks into the hot oil. Fry the steaks for 3 to 5 minutes on one side, until the sides of the meat start to brown and the top of the meat starts to cook.
- Gently flip the steaks away from you to avoid splashing hot oil onto yourself, and fry for 3 to 5 minutes on the other side.
- When both sides are golden brown and crispy, remove the steaks from the hot oil and drain on a clean wire rack over a baking sheet.
