Chicken Fried Steak

4 pieces of cube steak pounded out ( you can generally find thin pieces of steak beaten up in the meat case )
3 cups of flour
4 eggs
1.5 cup buttermilk
1T. salt
1T. pepper
1t. garlic powder
1t. onion powder
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup oil in a good fry pan (prefer cast iron) or I use a big skillet pan

1. Mix eggs and milk together and set aside for dredging station
2. Mix flour, and seasonings together
3. So take a piece of meat and dredge in flour, then in eggwash and then back in seasoned flour.
4. Place on cookie rack and rest 20 minutes.
5. In the meantime preheat the pan with the oil to mediumhigh want a good crust on pan so when you put steak in turn it down to medium as not to burn the crust.
6. When pan is up to temperature place the steak in, you should see it sizzle immediately! Brown on both sides. Good tip when you no longer see blood rising to top then the meat is usually down...this theory does not apply to frozen meat so use thawed meat. Remove and drain on paper towel.
7. Cook 2 at a time or 4 smaller ones so that it cooks evenly.
