Crispy Goat Leg Steak

A crispy, grass-fed, goat leg steak with goat milk gravy is a great twist on a classic chicken fried steak recipe. The meat from the goat leg is tender when seared over high heat, rested, and thinly sliced.

Crispy Fried Leg Steak with Eggs

But, just like many other meats, you want it to stay tender,–so allow it to rest for a few minutes before digging in, and be careful not to overcook. A little patience will pay off, and give you a tender, juicy result. The leg steak alone can be a great base of a dinner, or add some eggs fried with butter and herbs as we’ve done here for late breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

You’ll need some eggs, butter, oil for frying, herbs, spices and cornmeal. If you want to make goat milk gravy, you’ll need a few cups of goat milk.

Chef’s Tip: rice bran oil is a good cheap alternative to peanut oil and other oils if you can find some. It’s easy to fry a few slices in a cast iron skillet.
