Recipe
Using the smooth side of a meat mallet, gently pound the steaks to tenderize and flatten them. Place in a shallow baking dish, cover with cold water, and add table salt to create a brining solution. Cover and refrigerate over night.
In a deep skillet, heat 4 inches of oil over medium-high heat to 350*.
In a shallow bowl, stir together flour, paprika, garlic, and onion powders, salt and pepper. One by one, lift steaks out of the brining solution and drop into the seasoned flour. Coat well; shake off excess. Repeat, dipping coated steaks back into the solution, then the flour.
Slip steaks into the hot oil.(Do not fry more than 2 pieces at a time) Fry 10 -12 minutes on each side. Remove; let rest 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with white gravy if desired
