1. 1

   Cut the steak into four equal portions.

2. 2

   Pound the portions until each is about 1/4 inch thick.

3. 3

   Place the flour in a shallow bowl.

4. 4

   In a second dish, stir together the baking powder and soda, pepper, and salt, and mix in the buttermilk, ett, Tabasco, and garlic.

5. 5

   The mixture will be thin.

6. 6

   Dredge each steak first in flour and then in the batter.

7. 7

   Dunk the steaks back into the flour and dredge them well, patting in the flour until the surface of the meat is dry.

8. 8

   Add enough shortening to a deep cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven to deep-fry the steaks in at least 4 inches of fat.

9. 9

   Bring the temperature of the shortening to 325 degrees F. Fry the steaks, pushing them down under the fat or turning them over as they bob to the surface, for 7 to 8 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

    Drain the steaks, and transfer them to a platter.

11. 11

    Keep them warm while you prepare Cream Gravy.
