1 Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. The oil should completely cover the bottom of the pan.

2 Beat the meat lightly if desired. Use a hammer to beat the meat until the pieces are nearly doubled.

3 Prepare four "stations". Place the chopping board on which you will season the meat, one bowl of flour, one bowl of the egg mixture, and a container for placing the finished steak, such as a bowl or plate.

• To make an egg mixture, combine all dry ingredients: baking powder, baking soda, pepper, and salt in a medium bowl. Add buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce to the dry ingredients.

4 Season the steaks on both sides and cover with batter. To do this, dip the meat in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, then again in flour and place on the surface for ready-made steaks. Repeat with the rest of the steaks. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes.

• When covering the steaks with flour a second time, make sure they are completely covered and evenly coated. To get a good crust, you need to roll the meat in flour several times.

Method 2 of 2: Searing the steaks and making the sauce

1. 1 As soon as the oil begins to boil, place the steaks in it and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side. Finished steaks should be covered with a golden brown crust. Note that thinner steaks will take less time to cook. Place them in a warm oven while you do the following.
2. 2 Mix equal parts butter and flour. Do this at a low temperature to prevent the flour from burning.
3. 3 Add milk, salt and pepper gradually, stirring frequently. Mix until the mixture starts to sit on the back of the spoon. This will take approximately 4-7 minutes. Now you have the sauce!
4. 4 Ready! Serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables or any other side dish of your choice.

Tips

• You can use any tenderloin for this recipe, but if it is not a cube steak, you will need to cut the meat into pieces no thicker than 0.6 cm.
• If you forget to time it (or trust only your own eyes), fry the steaks until each side is golden brown.

Warnings

• Hot oil can cause burns. Be careful not to let your children be in the kitchen while cooking.
