How to Make Texas Style 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.
Place cube steaks (about 1 inch thick, 2 per person) in flour mixture, ensuring they're fully coated. Shake off excess flour.
Dip each floured steak into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
Return steaks to flour, pressing gently to ensure a good coating. Shake off excess flour.
Heat 1 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (Oil should be about 1/2 inch deep).
Carefully place steaks in hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove steaks from skillet and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
While steaks are frying, prepare the gravy: In the same skillet (remove excess oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons), whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly browned.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until gravy thickens. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season gravy to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve chicken fried steaks immediately, smothered in creamy gravy. Garnish with chopped parsley (optional).
