Ingredients

  • 4 moose steaks, about 1/2” thick (1/2 lbs each)

  • 2 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp of black pepper

  • 1 tsp of salt

  • 1/2 tsp of garlic powder

  • 1 tsp of chili powder

  • 5.5 cup of milk

  • 2 large egg

  • 1 tbsp of hot sauce, such as tabasco (or less depending on taste)

  • 3 cups of vegetable oil for frying

  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  • Place steaks between two sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface; firmly pound with a meat mallet to a ¼-inch thickness.
  • Mix 2 cups of flour, the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder in a shallow bowl.
  • Combine 1.5 cup of milk, the eggs and the hot sauce in a separate bowl.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a deep cast-iron skillet to 325 F.
  • Meanwhile, dredge 1 steak in flour to coat; shake off excess. Dip into milk mix; lift up so excess milk drips back into the bowl. Dredge in flour again to coat both sides completely. Place breaded steak on a plate. Repeat with remaining steaks.
    For extra crispy steaks, before you coat the steaks, drip 1 or 2 tbsp of milk mix in the flour mixture to create little lumps.
  • Fry steaks, in batches if necessary, until evenly golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Drain fat from the skillet, reserving ¼ cup and as much solid remnants as possible. Place skillet over medium-low heat. Add reserved ¼ cup oil; whisk in remaining ¼ cup flour (or flour mix). Scrape the fond at the bottom of the pan and cook until lightly brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Slowly incorporate 4 cups of milk. Increase heat to medium and bring the gravy to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until thick, 6 to 7 minutes. Season gravy with salt and black pepper. Optionally, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the gravy.
  • Transfer steaks to a platter; pour gravy over top.

SUBSTITUTIONS – Since we do not always have success when going outdoors or not everyone practices hunting, fishing or picking. here are a few ideas to substitute the harvested ingredients:

  • The moose steaks can be replaced with grocery bought beef steaks or boneless pork chops.
  • The moose steaks can be replaced with any venison steak (deer, elk, or duck)
