This recipe has been prepared at our hunt camp since before I was born, and will be made for many more years to come.
The inside of the steak should be nice and pink with a golden, breaded exterior. We use Ritz crackers, but feel free to use whatever crackers you have hiding in your hunt-camp pantry.
