Just put this recipe through the recipe builder on WW.com. It came out to 8 points per serving. The only change I had to make to the recipe was saying it was low fat buttermilk, as the recipebuilder didn't bring up fat free. The 1/2 C low fat buttermilk only added 1 point to the recipe anyway. Still might try it as long as I can make some 0 or low point sides! -
I made this the other night, and it was tasty. My only concern was that the breading became gummy after sitting for 20 minutes. Next time, I will only let it sit for about 5 minutes. The gumminess of the breading made it stick overly much to the pan. I was careful to turn only when the meat left the pan easily, but a lot of the breading was lost. Thanks for sharing your recipe! -
This is a family favorite in my house. I have also given it out to many friends. Thanks for posting. -
Me and my husband loved this recipe. I added the tip of placing the steaks in the flour to coat before putting in the buttermilk, then again in the flower. I will be making this again. I served this dish with unfried french fries. -
Like other posters have mentioned, this is not a 4 point recipe. Properly portioned with 3oz of tenderized beef round it works out to 8 points. For Core, it's 3 Flex points. I cannot locate FF buttermilk, so I subbed with Lowfat Buttermilk which I typically do for most recipes. The taste of the beef was good, however I also had trouble getting the coating to stay on the meat. Because of the minimal amount of oil used, I think that if made again, I would opt for a non-stick skillet in an attempt to get the coating to stick to the meat rather than the bottom of my pan.
