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!
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
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 ready to eat, heat your deep fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Deep fry the steaks for 7-10 minutes until golden brown, flipping at the 4 minute mark. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with country gravy and mashed potatoes.
