Ingredients

Directions

  1. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic salt on both sides of the tenderized steak to taste.
  2. Place the seasoned steak onto a tray well-covered with flour.
  3. Pound the steak firmly with stiff fingers, working from the center outward until it is very thin and large.
  4. Flip the steak several times and repeat pounding to ensure even thickness.
  5. In a shallow bowl, mix eggs, flat beer, 1 teaspoon salt, and Adolph's meat tenderizer.
  6. Add enough flour to the egg mixture to create a thin, watery batter.
  7. Beat the mixture until smooth.
  8. Dip the pounded steak into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
  9. Place the battered steak back onto the flour tray and cover completely with flour.
  10. Pound gently with fingertips again until the moisture from the batter is absorbed by the flour.
  11. Heat oil to 350 degrees F (177ðC) in a deep skillet or fryer.
  12. Fry the steak until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  13. Serve immediately with French fries and cover with white gravy.
