I was looking for something different to do with my man's fresh kill, so I just whipped this up from stuff I had in the cupboard. My husband and children loved it. Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy (I used brown gravy, but country gravy may be used for a milder taste).

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 egg
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
2 pounds 1/2 inch thick venison steaks
½ cup cornmeal
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
1 onion, sliced
1 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Beat the egg in a bowl, then whisk in 1 cup of milk and the hot pepper sauce. Pound the venison steaks with a meat mallet to 1/4 inch thick, and place into the milk mixture. Stir together the cornmeal, bread crumbs, cornstarch, baking soda, black pepper, and garlic salt in a shallow dish.
  • Remove the venison steaks from the milk mixture one at a time, allowing the excess to run off, and press into the bread crumb mixture; set aside. Reserve the remaining bread crumb mixture.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place as many breaded venison steaks into the pan as will fit without overlapping. Cook until the venison is golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to drain on a paper towel lined plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining venison.
  • Once the venison has finished cooking, stir the onions into the hot oil, and cook until dark brown, about 5 minutes. Pour off and discard the oil, remove the onions to a plate and set aside. Stir the reserved bread crumb mixture into the hot skillet, and cook for a few seconds until it begins to toast. Stir in the remaining cup of milk, and simmer until the milk has thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour the gravy over the venison steaks and top with the caramelized onions to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of venison: For chicken-fried venison steaks, you'll want to use a cut of venison that is relatively tender, such as the backstrap, tenderloin, or sirloin.
  • Tenderize the venison: Venison can be a bit tough, so it's important to tenderize it before cooking. You can do this by marinating the venison in a mixture of buttermilk, eggs, and spices, or by pounding it with a meat mallet.
  • Use a light breading: Chicken-fried venison steaks should be coated in a light breading, such as flour, cornmeal, or breadcrumbs. A heavy breading will make the steaks tough.
  • Fry the steaks in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the steaks are added. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the steaks.
  • Don't overcook the steaks: Venison steaks are best cooked to medium-rare or medium. If you overcook them, they will become tough and dry.

Conclusion:

Chicken-fried venison steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your chicken-fried venison steaks are tender, juicy, and flavorful.
