Ingredients

• 4 Pork steaks
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1.5 cups Buttermilk
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork steaks dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. This will be your dredge mixture.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. If desired, add the hot sauce for extra heat.

Step 4

Dip each pork steak into the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip it into the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it again in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure good coverage. Place the coated pork steaks on a baking sheet or plate.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. You’ll want about 1/4 inch of oil in the pan.

Step 6

Once the oil reaches 350°F (use a thermometer for accuracy), carefully place the pork steaks in the skillet, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork steaks from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Garnish the fried pork steaks with chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or coleslaw.
