Directions:

Pound the steaks to about ¼-inch thickness. Place flour in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl combine the pepper, salt, garlic, buttermilk, egg, and Tabasco Sauce. Dredge each steak first in the flour, then in the batter, and again in the flour. Pat the flour onto the surface of each steak so they are completely coated with dry flour.
Heat the shortening in a deep cast-iron skillet to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Fry the steaks until evenly golden brown (3-5 minutes per side). Place fried steaks on a plate with paper towels to drain.
Meanwhile, in medium saucepan combine water and Whisk Bliss Original, whisking until blended. Heat to slow boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add desired amount of pepper. Serve over steaks and whipped potatoes.
