Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Beef cubed steak
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for gravy)
• 2 cups Whole milk (for gravy)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (for gravy)
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper (for gravy)

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow dish, mix 2 cups flour, 1.5 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Set aside.

Step 2

In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and 1 cup of milk.

Step 3

Pat the cubed steak dry with paper towels. Dredge each piece of steak in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

Dip the flour-coated steak into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it again in the seasoned flour, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with all pieces of steak.

Step 5

Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Fry the steaks in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Keep warm.

Step 7

Once all the steaks are cooked, discard the oil from the skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan. Reduce the heat to medium.

Step 8

Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is golden brown.

Step 9

Slowly whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook the gravy for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.

Step 10

Season the gravy with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 11

Serve the chicken fried steaks hot, generously smothered with the cream gravy. Enjoy!
