Chicken Fried South of the Border Sirloin Steaks

Montana Heart Song's Note:

This is quick and easy. You can use on any steak including venison or elk. The crispy crust keeps the juices and flavors in the meat,

Flavour was good, and the steak was cooked to an excellent medium rare. The crust did seem to be asking for a little extra kick. I'd be tempted to add some extra chili, or even some cayenne. A little salt and freshly ground black pepper accented it beautifully, though. I never tried the gravy, so I might give that a shot next time. Thanks for posting!
