Description

Tender venison steaks marinated in buttermilk and seasoned with spices, served with a creamy peppered gravy.


Ingredients

  • 4 pieces venison steaks
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Oil for frying
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for the gravy)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (for the gravy)
  • Salt, to taste


Instructions

  1. Marinate the venison steaks in buttermilk combined with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder for a few hours or overnight.
  2. In a separate bowl, place the flour and season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour.
  5. Fry the steaks in hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  6. For the gravy, melt butter in a saucepan, add 2 tablespoons of flour, and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, stirring until thickened. Season with black pepper and salt.
  7. Serve the fried venison steaks topped with creamy peppered gravy.

Notes

For maximum flavor, let the venison steaks rest before frying. Adjust seasoning in the gravy as needed.
