Ingredients

Shop
  • 4 venison steaks (about 1 1/2 lbs)
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (for gravy)

Instructions

1

Pound venison steaks to 1/4-inch thickness. Soak in buttermilk for 2 hours.

Mix flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

3

Heat 1/2 inch oil in a large skillet to 350°F.

4

Drain steaks and dredge in seasoned flour. Fry 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Keep warm.

Gradually add milk, whisking constantly. Add pepper. Simmer until thickened.

Chef's Comfy Tip

Buttermilk tenderizes the venison and removes any gamey flavor.
