Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
- 2 lbs cube steaks or 2 lbs round steaks, that have been tenderized
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄2 cup warm water
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 3⁄4 cup flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
- Combine the first 4 ingredients (the vinegar, sugar, salt and water) in a small bowl.
- Dip each piece of steak in the water mixture.
- Mix the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the pepper with the flour.
- Dredge each piece of steak in the seasoned flour and place in hot skillet with at least 1/4 inch deep oil.
- Turn to medium heat and brown each side.
- Each side is done when you can turn it and it will turn loose from the skillet and the brown stays intact (approximately 8-10 minutes).
- Immediately transfer to platter lined with absorbent paper towels to soak up excess oil; cover with foil to keep warm while cooking rest of steaks and/or making milk gravy.
