Ingredients:

- 4 beef cube steaks (approximately 6 oz each)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg.
3. Dip each steak in the buttermilk mixture, then coat with the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
4. Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Fry steaks, a few at a time, until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
6. Transfer steaks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
