Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
  • 2 pounds 1/2 inch thick venison steaks
  •  
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  •  
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 cup whole milk

Directions

  1. Beat the egg in a bowl, then whisk in 1 cup of milk and the hot pepper sauce. Pound the venison steaks with a meat mallet to 1/4 inch thick, and place into the milk mixture. Stir together the cornmeal, bread crumbs, cornstarch, baking soda, black pepper, and garlic salt in a shallow dish.
  2. Remove the venison steaks from the milk mixture one at a time, allowing the excess to run off, and press into the bread crumb mixture; set aside. Reserve the remaining bread crumb mixture.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place as many breaded venison steaks into the pan as will fit without overlapping. Cook until the venison is golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to drain on a paper towel lined plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining venison.
  4. Once the venison has finished cooking, stir the onions into the hot oil, and cook until dark brown, about 5 minutes. Pour off and discard the oil, remove the onions to a plate and set aside. Stir the reserved bread crumb mixture into the hot skillet, and cook for a few seconds until it begins to toast. Stir in the remaining cup of milk, and simmer until the milk has thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour the gravy over the venison steaks and top with the caramelized onions to serve.
