Deep Fried Pork Steak Recipes

THICK-CUT FRIED PORK STEAKS

Steps:

• Mix bread crumbs and flour together in a resealable plastic bag. Place eggs in another bag.
• Place pork steaks in the bag with egg mixture and toss. Transfer 1 steak into the bag with the bread crumbs mixture and toss to coat.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add coated steak to the hot oil. Coat the next steak with the bread crumbs and add to the skillet. Fry until browned on both sides, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Repeat with the remaining pork steak.

CHICKEN FRIED PORK WITH MILK GRAVY

Steps:

• Pound pork chops on both sides with rough-textured side of meat pounder until 1/4 inch thick.
• Season with salt and pepper and cut into 3-inch pieces.
• Whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish.
• Whisk together egg, 3/4 cup milk, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper in another shallow dish.
• Dip pork pieces in egg mixture to coat, then dredge in flour.
• Transfer pork as coated to a large rack set on a baking sheet.
• Let pork stand, uncovered, at room temperature 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Heat oil in a deep 10-inch heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over high heat until thermometer registers 375°F (see cooks' note, below).
• Fry pork in batches, turning over once, until golden, about 4 minutes per batch, transferring to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 375°F between batches.
• Keep pork warm on a clean baking sheet in oven.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons oil into a heatproof bowl, leaving any brown bits in bottom of skillet, then add remaining 3 tablespoons flour to skillet and cook roux over moderate heat, stirring constantly, 3 minutes.
• Bring to a boil and whisk in remaining 2 1/2 cups milk.
• Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Season gravy with salt and pepper (to taste) and serve over pork.
• ** Note:.
• To take the temperature of a shallow amount of oil with a metal flat-framed deep-fat thermometer, put bulb of thermometer facedown in skillet, resting other end (not plastic handle) on rim of skillet. Check temperature frequently.
• Makes 4 servings.

FRIED PORK STRIPS

Steps:

• Cut pork tenderloin cutlets (or lean, boneless pork ribs) into strips (approx 1/2-1/4 inch thick).
• Pour the water into a bowl and set aside.
• Mix the flour, steak seasoning mix and chicken broth powder (or crushed bouillon cubes) together on a plate (I use a paper plate for this).
• Dip each pork strip into the water and then into the flour mixture until well coated.
• Set aside for a few minutes.
• I find it easier to do all of the pork strips before following the next step.
• Preheat a large skillet.
• Pour the oil into the skillet and heat until hot.
• Using a fork or tongs, place each of the pork strips into the hot oil.
• Fry for 10 minutes on each side or until done and not longer pink in the middle.
• Remove the strips onto a plate with a paper towel on it.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy for a tasty meal.
