Ingredients

• 2 pieces Venison steaks
• 1 cup Low sodium buttermilk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by trimming any excess fat or silver skin from the venison steaks and gently pounding them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine low sodium buttermilk and egg. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and cornstarch.

Step 4

Dip each venison steak into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture. Press the flour onto the steaks to ensure it adheres well.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the oil is shimmering.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated venison steaks in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature should reach at least 145°F).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Allow the steaks to rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
