Fried Round Steak

Ingredients
■3 pounds Cube Steak (round Steak That's Been Extra Tenderized)
■1 cup All-purpose Flour
■1 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
■3 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper, Or To Taste
■Salt, For Seasoning Meat
■½ cups Canola Oil (more If Needed)
■2 Tablespoons Butter
Preparation Instructions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Mix together flour, seasoned salt, and pepper.

Season both sides of steaks with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour mixture, pressing to coat with as much flour as possible.

Add butter to pan right before frying.

When butter is melted, fry pieces of steak in butter/oil mixture. Flip when sides are deep golden brown and cook about 1 minute on the other side.

Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately.

How it went: This was a pretty easy recipe, but it seems that when I make fried steak mine always takes longer to cook than the recipe says. Maybe I'm just being overly cautious about making sure it's good and cooked all the way through.

My take: These turned out pretty well, but not awesome. I'd say if you're going to make fried steak, go all the way and use egg or crackers for more coating, i.e. chicken fried steak. This recipe just didn't seem to have enough "fried" flavoring, i.e. the steak was kind of bland.
