This is real Southern comfort food. The buttermilk is an unsual ingredient in gravy but it tenderizes the steak and tastes wonderful. It took me a while before I would first try this recipe because of the buttermilk, but once I did, I was hooked. The gravy doesn't "look" good until the cheese is added but don't let this fool you. This is really a delicious dish and is one that after you have it started, can be left to cook on low with minimal attention.

2 lbs round steaks, cut into serving-size pieces (pound it to get it as thin as possible)
salt and pepper

1 tablespoon oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup water
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • After pounding steak, season with salt and pepper then dredge in flour.

  • Add onion and cook until tender.
  • Add water and buttermilk and stir.
  • Lower heat to medium-low and cook steak, covered, until tender, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • To tenderize the steak, use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy skillet to pound it to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk to marinate the steak. The buttermilk will help to break down the fibers in the steak, making it more tender.
  • Season the flour mixture with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to add flavor to the steak.
  • Dredge the steak in the flour mixture, making sure that it is evenly coated.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the steak for an additional 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or corn on the cob.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk country fried steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the crispy coating adds a nice crunch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
