Recipe type: Main
Serves: 2
Ingredients
- ¾ pound round steak, cut into 2 pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs, well beaten
- ½ cup flour
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ sleeve Saltine crackers, crushed to make about 2 cups of crumbs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or bacon grease or a combination, for frying
Instructions
- Lay each piece of steak on a cutting board and gently pound them with the flat side of a meat mallet, working from the center towards the edges until about ⅓” thick.
- Go over each one again now with the pokey side of the mallet. Be gentle. You don’t want to tear the meat.
- Sprinkle with the salt and set aside.
- Mix the flour with the pepper and put it on a plate.
- Beat the eggs well in a shallow bowl.
- Crush the crackers and put them on a plate.
- Now we bread. Dip each steak in this order: egg, flour, egg, crackers.
- Set them aside while you heat your oil in a large skillet, over high heat.
- When it’s hot enough, a fleck of cracker crumb will sizzle when tossed in.
- Fry as many as you can fit in your skillet without crowding them, probably just one at a time (If you cram too much in there, they will steam instead of fry and your breading will come off.)
- Cook for about 3 minutes, then turn and reduce the heat to medium-high.
- Cook another 3-4 minutes until you cut into it and it’s just barely pink in the middle.
- Keep warm if necessary in the oven while you cook the rest.
