Ingredients

• 4 pieces Venison deer steaks
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1.5 cups Buttermilk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the venison deer steaks on a cutting board and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the steaks.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Submerge the seasoned venison deer steaks in this mixture and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch, mixing well. This will be the coating for the steaks.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep in the pan.

Step 6

Remove one venison steak from the buttermilk mixture, allowing the excess liquid to drip off, and dredge it thoroughly in the flour mixture. Press the flour mixture onto the steak to ensure it is well coated. Repeat with the remaining steaks.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated steaks into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and the steak is cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the fried steaks from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off excess oil.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a crisp side salad.
