Ingredients
For the Steak:
- 4 cube steaks about 1/2 pound each
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Gravy:
- 1/4 cup pan drippings
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by mixing the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish for the breading.
- In another bowl, blend the eggs and milk.
- Coat each steak with the flour mixture, dip in the egg mix, then again in the flour. Place on a wire rack.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and fry the steaks until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Keep warm under foil.

- Serve the steaks doused in the creamy gravy.
