I use a tenderizer similar to this one. It's made of aluminum and cost less than ten dollars. In a pinch, you can use the bottom of a cast iron skillet, or even a can of corn, to tenderize the steaks. Put the steaks between sheets of plastic wrap before you start slapping it around...your kitchen will stay cleaner if you do.
Chicken Fried Deer Steaks
To make this recipe, you'll need...
Four deer steaks
One cup flour
Salt, black pepper
Vegetable oil
Tenderize the steaks with the mallet until they are about double in size. You can then cut them into smaller size steaks that will fit the skillet better. Season the venison steak to taste with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour. Set aside to rest.
Begin heating about one-quarter inch of the oil in a skillet over medium heat (I prefer cast iron).
Dredge the steaks in the flour one more time and gently shake off the excess. Fry the steaks in the hot oil until they are lightly browned. Remove onto paper towels or a brown paper bag to drain.
Chicken fried deer steaks are great served alongside mashed potatoes and white gravy. Here's a good recipe for gravy that's perfect for topping the potatoes and the steaks.
