Pan Fried Steaks:

Ingredients:
1 – 2 pounds venison steaks, tenderized
½ onion, diced
2 – 4 Tbsp, divided
¼ c flour
½ tsp seasoning
¼ tsp garlic salt
¼ tsp pepper


Directions:

Dice onion. Heat 1 – 2 Tbsp butter in a large cast iron skillet. Sauté onion until translucent and slightly browned.

Once sautéed, push onions to the edge of the skillet.

Meanwhile, tenderize meat. Sprinkle steaks with seasonings. Place ¼ c flour on a large plate. Dredge steaks in flour.
Add 1 – 2 Tbsp butter to the skillet. Lay the steaks in the skillet. Cook for 4 – 5 minutes or until blood begins to pool on the tops of the steaks. Flip the steaks. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat, and cook for another 5 – 7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and spoon sautéed onions over the tops of the steaks and serve.
