Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful steak, consider marinating it in a mixture similar to the Roast Beef Marinade(Very Good!) for a few hours before cooking. If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with cornstarch or almond flour. To enhance tenderness, try using a meat mallet or even a fork to puncture the steak before flouring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, while round steak is a great choice for this recipe, you can also use flank steak or sirloin for a slightly different texture and flavor. Just be sure to adjust cooking times accordingly, as different cuts may cook at different rates.
What kind of oil is best for frying the steak?
For frying, a high smoke point oil like canola, vegetable, or peanut oil is ideal as it can withstand the high temperatures needed for frying without burning. Olive oil can also work, but make sure to use light olive oil to avoid any strong flavors.
Can I prepare the steak in advance?
Absolutely! You can tenderize and flour the steak ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you're ready to fry it. Just be sure to let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking for even cooking and better crust formation.
