I tried making it the other night by pan frying with vegetable oil in a lodge cast iron skillet. I coated the beef in flour, salt, pepper then fried. It seems like a lot of the flour came off the meat after it was in the oil...

Anybody have any tips on how to make it better? And what kind of meat to use? I tried with cube steak the other night

Oil probably wasn't hot enough.

After dredging the cubed steak in the flour mix. Put the meat on a plate with some wax paper. Then put it in fridge for 30 minutes or longer before cooking. Letting it set for a while will help keep the breading from coming off.

Soak it in buttermilk before you roll it in the flour.

Did you flour, eggwash, then flower?

Is it possible

Everything is possible

Also, I find egg wash, batter, then refrigerate for an hour, then another egg wash and flour right before the frier is pretty good

tenderize meat and soak in buttermilk. Coat in flour and dip in buttermilk again, I season my flour but not everyone does that. let it rest in flour for a bit before frying.

Heat oil to 350 and fry, turning only one time. Better if deep fried.

Should give you the finished product you want.

I actually like them this way better

Soak in buttermilk for hours, season, flour, buttermilk again, flour again, then deep fry.

Good recommendations posted. I find mixing a little cornstarch in with my seasoned flour mixture helps (I use a mix of white and corn flour)

The part about letting it sit in the fridge for 30-45 minutes after battering is the most important in my experience though. And I've chicken fried a heck of a lot of venison steaks over the years.

I floured the steak with seasoned flour.. Refrigerated for 40min.. Then egged and re-seasoned floured the steak. Came out perfect.

The refrigerated period is really important.
