Ingredients
- 4 thick-cut pork steaks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
- In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, and dried rosemary.
- Dip each pork steak into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it in the seasoned flour mixture. Press the flour mixture onto the steaks to ensure an even coating.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated pork steaks to the skillet, ensuring they have enough space to cook without overcrowding. You may need to cook the steaks in batches.
- Cook the pork steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the pork steaks from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Let the pork steaks rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and makes the steaks even more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the thick-cut fried pork steaks with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, and a salad. Enjoy!
