Steps:
- Begin with the round steak. Place the round steak inside the butcher paper it comes in, or use parchment or wax paper to cover the individual steaks on both sides while pounding flat. Pound out your steaks with a tenderizing mallet to thin 1/4-inch slices. They will get bigger and wider as you go. I alternate between the spiky side and the flat side of the mallet as I go.
- Combine the flour, seasoning salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and cornstarch in a bowl and whisk it well, then place it on a large platter.
- In a glass dish (big enough to dunk a whole steak) combine the three eggs and milk and whisk into a thin mixture to make an egg wash.
- Dip each steak into flour, shake it off, then into egg wash, shake it off, then back into the flour. Place each steak on a nice big cookie sheet. Repeat with all the steaks, then transfer into the refrigerator for a half-hour. Do not skip this step. This is giving the flour mixture time to bind and develop. Meanwhile, you can clean up, remembering to reserve 4 tablespoons of seasoned flour for the gravy.
- To cook the steaks, fill a cast-iron skillet about halfway with canola oil. Heat the oil to 350°F on medium-high heat. (You can test the oil with the back of a wooden spoon. When it bubbles around the spoon, it's hot enough. This happens at about 350°F.)
- Using tongs, place a steak in the oil. It should immediately start to bubble and cook, but not explode with activity. If it does, you will want to turn the heat down a nudge. Depending on the size of your skillet, you can cook two or more at the same time. Especially if you preheated that cast-iron skillet. You may have to monitor the heat when adding new steaks. I think a good secret is to let the majority of the first steak get nice and well fried on one side before trying to add in another one.
- Watch the edges of the steak for a golden-brown color. The edges will tell you what it looks like underneath! When you feel like the sides look golden brown, flip the steak and repeat frying on the other side, 4-5 minutes depending on the pan used.
- As each steak is done, remove it from the pan and immediately salt it on each side. Hold on a cookie sheet in a preheated oven at about 225°F. This will keep them hot while you cook the other steaks, but they are best served quickly for maximum crispiness.
- When all of the steaks are resting and toasting in the oven, pour all the grease out of the skillet except about 3-4 tablespoons and turn the heat down to low. Sprinkle in the reserved flour and whisk until a brown paste begins to form.
- Slowly whisk in one can of milk and whisk until it is thoroughly combined. Turn the heat up to medium and whisk as the gravy begins to take form and thicken, which happens when the mixture starts to simmer. Little bubbles will begin to form. Keep the heat around medium.
- I usually add another 1/2 can of milk as I decide how thin/thick I want my gravy . . . that's just a preference thing. Feel free to do what you like. Add the lemon juice, onion and garlic powder, and salt. We crack freshly ground pepper in just before serving and sprinkle on fresh thyme from our herb garden.
- Top the chicken-fried steaks with gravy and serve with your favorite sides.

TEXAS-STYLE CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH CREAM GRAVY
It is hard to get much more Texan than Chicken Fried Steak. Quality of the beef really counts in this dish. This recipe calls for cube steaks, but good round steak that you have asked the butcher to run through the tenderizer or that you have tenderized yourself with a mallet (no big deal and can be a real stress reliever) can be even better. NOTE TO CREAM GRAVY NOVICES: Gravy-making is an inexact science. Cream gravy is supposed to be thick, but if you think it's too thick, add more liquid until you're satisfied with it.

Steps:
- STEAKS:.
- Beat together the egg and milk and set aside.
- Mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika and white pepper and sprinkle on both sides of beef cutlets.
- Dredge the cutlets in the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Then dip each cutlet in the egg/milk mixture, then back in the flour. (You're going to get your hands messy here, so take your rings off.)
- Set cutlets aside on a piece of waxed paper.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes.
- Oil should be about a half-inch deep in the pan.
- Check the temperature with a drop of water; if it pops and spits back at you, it's ready.
- With a long-handled fork, carefully place each cutlet into the hot oil.
- Protect yourself (and your kitchen) from the popping grease that results.
- Fry cutlets on both sides, turning once, until golden brown.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and cook 4 or 5 minutes until cutlets are done through.
- Drain cutlets on paper towels.
- CREAMY GRAVY:
- After the cutlets are removed from the pan, pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of oil, keeping as many as possible of the browned bits in the pan.
- Heat the oil over medium heat until hot.
- Sprinkle flour in the hot oil.
- Stir with a wooden spoon or whisk, quickly, to brown the flour.
- Gradually stir in milk and water, mixed together, stirring constantly with the wooden spoon or whisk and mashing out any lumps.
- Lower heat, and gravy will begin to thicken.

Steps:
- 1. Start with a good piece of tenderized round steak and cut it up into serving size pieces. Prepare a bowl of flour to which you add salt, pepper and garlic powder (in an amount comparable to the amount of steak you're going to dredge in the flour - and each piece will be dredged twice).
- 2. Here's how to prepare each piece of steak ( put at least a half-inch of bacon grease into a frying pan) If you don't have any - use Crisco - nothing else. The bacon grease will make the steak brown better and more evenly. Even if you only have a little bacon grease add it to the pan, once the Crisco has melted. The shortening or grease should be very hot but NOT smoking.
- 3. Now, back to the steak - You prepare all the steak pieces the same way. Get 'em all cut, put them thru the dredging process twice, THEN put them in the hot pan. Dredging Process - Take each piece of steak, hold it under running water until it is good and wet, then lay it down in your bowl of flour mixture. PRESS the flour mixture into it on both sides. Then, run the same piece of steak once again under a gentle flow of water. Again, return the steak to the flour mixture and press the flour into both sides. This is the secret to exceptional chicken fried steak: make sure to FLOUR THE SIDES of each piece and press down so it will seal the batter all around. This is a critical move so be sure each outside edge of each piece of steak is well floured! Set them aside until you're ready to start frying. DO NOT stack up the pieces as they'll stick together and you'll have a huge mess! Once all the meat is dredged; put as many pieces in the pan as it will hold - but do not crowd them.
- 4. Cook the meat until it's well done and browned on both sides. As your meat gets done remove them from the skillet to a container lined with paper towels to drain off excess grease. If you want a softer "crust" put a piece of foil over the top of the container - it'll keep the meat warm and will soften the crust a bit. If you prefer a more crusty exterior on your chicken fried steak - put the done pieces in a pan and put them in your oven on a very low or "warm" setting," uncovered, to keep them until you're prepared to serve. Note: I usually add a bit more salt when I remove each piece of steak from the pan.
- 5. CREAM GRAVY Pour all but a bit more than a quarter-inch of the grease out of the pan you cooked the meat in. Don't put the pan back on the fire until you do the following: Get your flour canister out and the salt and pepper so you're ready to go when you begin cooking the gravy. Fill a mixing bowl with a couple of cups of whole milk and add one cup of water to it. If you're not using whole milk put three cups of milk in your bowl (no water).
- 6. Put the pan on the stove and again let it get really hot but not smoking. Add three heaping tablespoons of regular flour, salt and pepper to taste and stir quickly and constantly until the flour is browned and the mixture begins to thicken (very similar to making a roux). At that point add all the milk from the bowl and stir constantly until the gravy thickens and is bubbling (boiling). Cooking cream gravy a bit after it starts to boil kills that flour taste. If your gravy is too thick add a bit more milk. If it's too thin, remove the pan from the stove while you add another table spoon of flour to 1/2 cup water, beat it until there are no lumps and add to your gravy. Then return the pan to the stove and cook until you've got bubbles and the gravy is the right consistency.
- 7. Cream gravy is thicker than most other gravies. For this dish runny gravy won't do, so be sure and cook it long enough to get a good, moderately thick texture. When removing the gravy from the pan into a serving bowl add a bit more black pepper.
