Prepare the dredging station: In one shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Pat the cube steaks dry with a paper towel. Dip each steak in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, and then coat thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture. Repeat the process for a double coating, ensuring maximum crispiness.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil and unsalted butter. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully lay the coated steaks in the pan. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and keep warm while you make the gravy.
To make the gravy, carefully discard most of the grease from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons of drippings. Over medium heat, whisk in 3 tablespoons of the seasoned flour mixture from earlier, cooking for about 1 minute.
Slowly pour in the chicken or beef broth while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add the heavy cream and continue to whisk until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 3-5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the chicken fried steaks smothered in the creamy gravy. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or fresh parsley, if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes and green beans for a complete Southern-inspired meal.
