Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in beef chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Gravy (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the beef chops in buttermilk (add hot sauce for extra flavor) in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- In a shallow dish, mix flour and spices until well combined.
- Remove beef from marinade and let excess drip off. Dredge each chop in the flour mixture until fully coated. Rest on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each chop for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
- For optional gravy, use remaining oil to create a roux with leftover flour mixture and whisk in milk until thickened.
