Description
Crispy, golden-brown chicken fried steak made easy in the air fryer. A delicious twist on a classic comfort food.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (4-ounce) cube steaks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Set up a breading station: In one shallow dish, add flour. In a second shallow dish, whisk together eggs and buttermilk. In a third shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Dredge each cube steak in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat in the bread crumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Lightly spray both sides of the breaded steaks with cooking spray.
- Place the breaded steaks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispy steaks, consider double-dipping in the egg and bread crumbs.
- Serve with country gravy for a classic touch.
