Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Dredging Station: In a large, resealable plastic bag, combine the bread crumbs, flour, salt, and pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Whisk the Egg Wash: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Coat the Steaks: Dip each venison steak into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Then, transfer the steak to the plastic bag filled with the breadcrumb mixture. Seal the bag and shake well to coat the steak evenly. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

04

Step
18 mins

Fry to Golden Perfection: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place the coated venison steaks into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. (Cook time: 16-20 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Rest and Serve: Remove the fried steaks from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. (Rest time: 5 minutes)

For extra crispy steaks, consider double-dredging: dip the steaks in the egg mixture, then breadcrumbs, then back into the egg, and finally back into the breadcrumbs before frying.
Adjust the seasoning in the breadcrumb mixture to your liking. Garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika can add extra flavor.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes and gravy (brown or country) are classic choices, but a fresh salad or roasted vegetables also complement the richness of the venison.

    My family loved this. I used elk instead of venison and it was just as good!

    Next time I will try pounding the venison even thinner for a more delicate texture.

    Easy to follow instructions and a great way to use up some venison. I'll definitely be making this again.

  • Kelsie Schaden

    The cooking time was spot on. The steaks were cooked perfectly and not at all dry.
