For a tender steak, consider marinating it in buttermilk or vinegar before coating with flour. You can substitute the round steak with chuck or sirloin if preferred. If you want to add more flavor, try incorporating garlic powder or herbs like thyme into the flour mixture. This dish can also be made with chicken, similar to Chicken Or Turkey Divine, for a different twist.
