Ingredients
- 4 pieces Venison steaks
- 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Place the venison steaks between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk and egg whites until well combined.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Step 4
Dip each venison steak into the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly.
Step 5
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray generously with cooking spray.
Step 6
Add the coated venison steaks to the skillet, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook each steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Spray a little more cooking spray if needed when flipping the steaks.
Step 7
Remove the cooked steaks from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for extra freshness.
