Chicken Fried Venison Steak

Chicken fried deer steak is easy to make, and a real touch of southern comfort food for all the loved ones in your life! It is also fairly quick to make, and it’s pretty kid-friendly, so it checks a lot of boxes in my book.

How to make Chicken Fried Venison Steak

First, pound the steaks to tenderize them and thin them out.

Next, prep your station: place flour and seasonings into a bowl and stir well. Then, add eggs and milk into a separate bowl and whisk together. 

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. You can also use any frying pan that you have, it doesn’t have to be cast iron. 

Add an inch of oil into the frying pan, heat to 350 degrees. Dip each deer steak into the egg wash, then into the flour mixture. For a thicker crust, you can dip the steaks a second time into the egg wash, then the flour mixture. 

Place coated steaks carefully into the oil – don’t drop them in, or the oil will splatter! 

When the steaks are starting to have a little blood pool up on the top side, flip each one very carefully. Fry on second side for several minutes, till golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on several layers of papers towels. Serve warm.
