How do you make a good tender country fried steak?
This is a recipe handed down from my Southern Grandma to my mom to me. Since you want “good tender country fried steak,” you may be tempted to start with a steak cut that is already tender. DON’T DO IT! The whole point of this technique is to make cheap cuts turn out amazingly tender and delicious. You could also ask the meat department man to run your steaks through the meat tenderizer (make it cube steak), but this is cheating. The trick is to have a meat tenderizing hammer at home (the kind with a cleaver on one side and deep diamond shaped studs on the other). Beat the steaks with all your pent-up aggression. Don’t stop until bits of flesh are sprinkling your brow. (This process is just one of the secret methods southern women have to keep their cool.) Mix together in a wide, shallow dish some flour, poultry seasoning, pepper, garlic and seasoning salt. Adjust to taste while adding the seasonings Yes, dip a damp finger in it and keep adjusting the spices until it tastes good on you
