Air Fryer Chicken Fried Steak

Step 1

Slice your steaks in half and place a steak between seran wrap. Using a meat tenderizer, hammer the meat until roughly ½ inch thick. Repeat with the other steak.

Step 2

Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

On a shallow bowl or plate, mix together the flour, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper.

Step 4

In another shallow bowl or plate, scramble one egg and mix it with the buttermilk.

Step 5

Dip the steak patty into the wet mixture until well coated.

Step 6

Next, dip the cutlet into the dry mixture.

Step 7

Repeat the process to complete a double batter for each steak by again dipping into the wet batter and then in the dry batter.

Step 8

Let the battered patty sit for 5 minutes while the air fryer heats up to 400 degrees.

Step 9

Use an olive oil spray to coat the chicken fried steaks and place them into the air fryer basket.

Step 10

Cook for 8 minutes, or as directed by your air fryer, to crisp up the exterior.

Step 11

Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy.
