Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 to 3 lb sirloin steak, tenderized and pounded to 1/4 inch
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground pepper, more if you like
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp hot pepper sauce
1 1/2 c buttermilk
1 egg
2 clove garlic, minced
oil for frying

Steps:

1. Cut tenderized and pounded steak into serving pieces. Set aside. Put flour in one pie plate. In another pie plate put baking powder, salt, pepper and baking soda. To the baking powder mixture, add the buttermilk, egg, hot pepper sauce and garlic. Mixture will be thin.
2. Dredge each piece of meat first in the flour, then into the batter, then back into the flour. Pat the flour in until the meat is dry.
3. Heat just enough oil to almost cover meat. Fry steaks for about 7-8 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom. Flip steaks and brown on the other side. Place meat on serving platter and serve with either country or brown gravy. Cooks note: I use Pioneer Brown Gravy Mix.
