How to Make All American Chicken Fried Steak With Cream Gravy

In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
In a separate shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk.
In a third shallow dish, place 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
Pound 2 (1-inch thick) beef cube steaks to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Dredge each steak in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Dip each steak in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
Finally, coat each steak thoroughly in the second flour mixture.
Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place steaks in the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove steaks from skillet and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
**For the gravy:** In the same skillet, whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk, and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low and simmer until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the chicken fried steaks immediately, topped with the creamy gravy. Enjoy!
