Lone Star Chicken Fried Steak - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs round steaks, cut into 4-6 pieces, tenderized (sirloin works well too)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup half-and-half or 1/2 cup milk
oil (for frying)
Gravy
6 tablespoons pan drippings or 6 tablespoons bacon grease
6 tablespoons flour
3 cups hot milk
salt and pepper

Preparation

Combine flour, salt and pepper in pie plate.
In another pie plate, combine eggs and milk.
Dredge meat in flour mixture, shaking off excess flour.
Dip steak into egg mixture and dredge again in flour.
Heat 1/2 inch oil in a heavy skillet.
Place steaks in skillet and fry until golden brown on both sides.
To make gravy, remove steaks to warm oven. (I use my toaster oven for this step).
Remove all leftover oil except for 6 T. and the brown bits.
Add flour to skillet.
Cook and stir until flour begins to brown.
Add hot milk and whisk until thickened.
Season with salt and pepper and pour over warm steaks.
