Country Fried Steak with Milk Gravy

Directions

• Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper on each side of cube steaks and set aside.
• Mix flour with 1 teaspoon of the pepper in a shallow dish. Beat egg in a separate shallow dish.
• Dredge each steak first in the flour then dip into beaten egg then dredge in the flour again.
• In a large, heavy skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and fry 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the oil in the skillet and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the dredging flour into the remaining oil. Stir over medium heat for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Slowly whisk in milk and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened – about 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons pepper; gravy should be quite peppery.
