4 (4 ounce) cube steaks
2 eggs
3 cups dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste

2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs with the oregano, cumin, and salt and pepper. Beat eggs in another shallow dish. Dip each steak in beaten eggs, and then in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to cover each steak well with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat 1inch oil over medium high heat.

  • Make sure the chicken is completely dry before frying. This will help to prevent the oil from splattering.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad.
