Elk Fried Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Flatten venison to 1/4-in. thickness. Place saltines in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Coat venison with saltines, then dip in egg mixture and coat a second time with saltines. , In a large skillet over medium heat, cook venison in oil in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).

Steps:

• First, Thaw your steaks. Then use a meat tenderizer to hammer the steaks on both sides. If you don't have a tenderizer you can use a knife and hit the steak in a parallel hatching pattern, then cross hatch them, on both sides. (BE CAREFUL!) Set aside.
• Second, set out your 3 medium bowls. In the first one put 1 cup flour, and 3 tsp of lemon pepper and mix. The second bowl is your beaten eggs. The third bowl will be 1 cup of breadcrumbs mixed with your barbecue seasoning/season salt.
• Next, put a large skillet on the stove. Melt your 2 to 3 TBSP of vegetable Shortening on medium low.
• (You will want to start with your thickest Steak and end with your thinnest.) Take a steak with your fingers (if you don't mind globby fingers) or a set of tongs, and dredge it in the flour mixture on all sides. Then dredge it in the egg mixture (all sides) followed by the breadcrumb mixture. Carefully place in the skillet. Repeat this process until all steaks are in the skillet.
• Cook for approximately 6 minutes on each side. Check the center of your thickest steak with a knife before removing them from the heat. It should be just slightly pink or medium well done. (Its not a good idea to under or overcook wild game) Place the steak on a paper towel covered serving platter (to absorb the excess oil).
