Air Fryer Chicken Fried Steaks

Ingredients

1 Pork loin
5 cups flour
1/4 cup onion powder
1/4 cup garlic powder
1/4 cup black pepper
10 eggs
1/4 cup milk
Olive oil

Instructions

Thinly slice the pork loin into half inch slices. Using a meat mallet, pound the meat until its about a quarter inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the spices. In a shallow dish (like a pie pan), beat the eggs and milk.
Bread the pork in the flour mixture first, then egg mix, then flour again. Shake off excess flour and place flat on a baking sheet. Freeze the breaded steaks for at least 2 hours until semi solid. If not eating immediately, place steaks into a freezer bag. Store for up to 6 months in the freezer.
When you are ready to eat, preheat your air fryer. Lightly coat the steaks with olive oil. Cook the steaks for 6 minutes at 380 degrees Fahrenheit. Flip and air fry for another 6 minutes.

Crispy crust around warm meat paired with mashed potatoes and white gravy – what could be better?

This traditionally southern comfort food is part of our family’s regular rotation. Whenever I hit a store I check the meat department for sweet deals, and one of my favorite finds is pork loin! I grab a few when the price is right. I grind some up, and slice the rest extra thin. I bread them and freeze them so we always have these fried steaks on hand!

We usually deep fry ours, but you can fry them up in a skillet if you want. Then we cook up our mashed potatoes in the Instant Pot and grab a packet of white gravy and we’re good to go!
