I love, love, love country fried steak. I didn't really have it growing up so when I discovered it as an adult I couldn't get enough. There are a couple of restaurants I absolutely love it at, and others that don't do such a great job. I came across this recipe for country fried steak, but in bite size pieces and I was hooked. I experimented a bit and came up with my own version, so here it is! You can serve it with white gravy for dipping, or ranch like I had, or even a horseradish sauce like the kind you get with a fried onion. It is delicious with any sauce you like really. Also, you can make it as the protein in a meal, or serve them for snacks or an appetizer.Country Fried Steak Bites
Ingredients
- 2lbs cube steak, cut into bite size pieces (about 1 inch)
- 2 cups flour
- salt & pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika ( I used smoked Paprika)
- 1 tsp Cayenne
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- oil for frying (use a light oil like vegetable or peanut)
Directions:
Preheat your oil and let it come up to between 350 and 375 (I used a 6 quart pot and had about 2 inches of oil in the pot). Meanwhile, in one bowl mix together the eggs and milk. Whisk together well. In a separate bowl, mix together flour and all spices. Dip your cube steak bites in flour, then in egg mixture, then back in flour. Fry in batches. It should take less than 5 minutes per batch, just look for a beautiful golden brown crust to form. Place each batch on a paper towel lined plate to drain off excess oil. Salt bites when the pieces come out of the oil. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
