1. Begin by heating the oil in an electric skillet or a large cast iron skillet to about 375°F.
2. Cut each cube steak into four pieces and set them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess liquid. Cover them with another paper towel and press down gently.
3. While the oil is heating up, place half the flour in a shallow bowl.
4. In another shallow bowl, combine the remaining flour with all spices and seasonings. Mix well.
5. In a third shallow bowl, whisk the egg, hot sauce, and buttermilk together until smooth.
6. Once the oil is ready, pat the cube steak pieces dry again and coat each piece in the plain flour.
7. Dip the floured steak in the egg mixture, then back into the seasoned flour, ensuring they are well coated.
8. Carefully place the breaded steaks into the hot skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
9. Remove the cooked pieces and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
10. Repeat the process with the remaining cube steak. For optimal results, coat the steaks just before frying.
11. Assemble the sliders on Hawaiian rolls and drizzle with your favorite country gravy before serving.

How to serve Chicken Fried Steak Sliders

For the best presentation, serve your sliders on a stylish platter with a side of dipping gravy. You can also pair these sliders with classic sides such as coleslaw, crispy fries, or a simple salad for balance. These additions not only complement the meal but enhance the overall dining experience.

How to store

If you have leftovers, keep them stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, it’s best to use an oven for the best texture. You can also freeze the cooked sliders in a freezer-safe container for up to two months. Ensure they are completely cooled before placing them in the freezer to prevent ice crystals from forming.

Tips to make

For an even crispier coating, consider double-dipping your cube steak in the egg mixture and seasoned flour. Using buttermilk not only tenderizes the meat but gives it that unique flavor that pairs well with the spices. Lastly, don’t rush the frying process; giving each piece enough time in the oil ensures the perfect crispy exterior.

Variations

Feel free to get creative with your sliders! You can add cheese, various toppings such as caramelized onions, or even jalapeños for some heat. Switching up the type of gravy can also introduce new flavors. Try a mushroom gravy for a rich and savory alternative.
