Sourdough Chicken Fried Steak

I made these a few nights ago and they are wonderful!!  Even my teenage daughter liked it and she hates sourdough! 

2 cups Flour, seasoned well with salt, pepper, garlic powder (basically whatever calls out to you!) 

2 to 3 cups Sourdough Starter

oil for frying

6 tenderized beef steaks, pounded thin  

 

Place the seasoned flour in a shallow dish or on a plate. The flour should be heavily seasoned, not bland. Pout the sourdough starter into a wide, shallow bowl and set aside.

Pour the oil into a heavy, deep-sided skillet and set the pan over medium-high heat. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F, using a thermometer to measure the temperature.  You can deep fry these if you want to.  I did not.

While the oil is heating, prepare the steaks.  One at a time, dip a steak into the flour and then into the sourdough starter, completely coating the steak. Dip the steak into the flour once again, completely coating it. Set the prepared meat on a wire rack set until there are enough coated to fill the pan without crowding.

When the correct oil temperature is reached, slide 2 or 3 steaks into the hot oil. Cook the steaks for 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, taking care not to break the coating. Repeat the cooking process, allowing the oil to come back to 375 degrees F before adding the next batch of steaks. Repeat until all steaks are cooked. 

I served these with mashed potatoes and salad.  Yummy!!
