Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed
• 4 (4 ounce) cube steaks
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 1.5 teaspoons seasoned salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Montreal steak seasoning

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk together the egg and milk in a shallow bowl; set aside.

Step 2

Whisk together the flour, crushed saltines, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and steak seasoning. Dip the steaks in the egg mixture, then press each steak in the flour mixture. Pat the flour mixture into the steaks to coat them completely.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and fry the steaks until they are golden brown, firm, hot in the center, and just turning from pink to grey, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
