Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, 3/8 inch thick
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus extra to season the steak
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus extra to season the steak
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups buttermilk
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Homemade Gravy: 2 tablespoons butter, 2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 cups whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Season sirloin steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper.
- In a shallow bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.
- Pour buttermilk into another shallow bowl.
- Dip each steak first into the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk, and again into the flour mixture, pressing to coat thoroughly.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, enough to shallow-fry steaks.
- Fry steaks for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- For gravy, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Gradually whisk in milk, salt, and black pepper. Cook until thickened, about 4–5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Serve chicken fried sirloin hot with homemade gravy poured over the top.
Notes
- Use a meat mallet to gently pound the sirloin to an even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Maintain oil temperature to ensure steaks cook evenly without burning the coating.
- Gravy can be made ahead and kept warm until serving.
