Title: Jeff's Chicken Fried Steak
Categories: Beef
Yield: 1 Serving

MMMMM---------------------------STEAK--------------------------------
1/2 lb Round steak
1 c Flour
1 c Milk
1 Egg
1 ts Garlic powder
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper
Oil; for cooking

MMMMM------------------------CREAM GRAVY-----------------------------
4 tb Cooking oil; from the pan
1/4 c Flour
1 c Milk
1 c Water
Salt
Pepper

Steak:

Heat 1/4" oil in heavy frying pan to medium high. Combine 1 cup milk
with the egg, whisk to mix. Pour into 9" round shallow pan. Season 1
cup flour with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sift together
into a second 9" round shallow pan. Tenderize the round steak well,
trimming off excess fat and ligament. Dip the meat into the egg and
milk mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour, pressing the flour
into the meat. Repeat for a crispier coating. When oil is hot, place
the meat into oil, adjusting temperature, to allow the meat to cook
for 9 to 12 minutes. This allows additional tenderizing of the meat.
When fried steak is golden brown, remove to drain on paper towels.
Serve with cream gravy.

Cream Gravy:

Pour off all but 4 tb of the cooking oil from the pan. Over medium
heat, slowly stir in the 1/4 cup flour, stirring constantly. Combine
the 1 cup milk and 1 cup water, slowly add to oil & flour mix,
stirring constantly. Stirring with a large spatula helps. Loosen
brown bits rom bottom of pan while stirring, there's great flavor
there.

Add salt and pepper to taste, raising heat to bring to a boil. When
bubbly, lower heat and continue to stir, simmering for 5 minutes.

It's traditional to serve the meat with mashed potatoes, covering the
meat and potatoes with the gravy. Large yeast rolls go great with
this meal too. Well worth the effort!
