• Take chopped steaks and dip into flour mixture then into milk and egg mixture then back into flour mixture.
• Repeat this with all of your steaks.
• Spritz each side of your steak with some non- stick spray or spray olive oil.
• Optional: lay down a sheet of air fryer perforated parchment paper to help prevent anything from going through the holes on the bottom of the air fryer basket.
• Place in the air fryer and cook at 400 F. for 7 minutes, Gently flip over steak and cook for another 6 minutes. *Note -if your cube steak is extra thin, cook for 5 minutes then flip and cook for another 5 minutes so meat does not over cook.
• For gravy: Add butter and flour to a sauce pan and begin cooking over medium heat. Melt butter and stir together with the flour. Whisk in the milk, salt, black pepper. Whisk over high heat until the mixture begins to thicken. Once thickened remove from heat and serve over chicken fried steaks.

COUNTRY FRIED STEAK

Steps:

• Place 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup milk, and eggs in 3 separate shallow bowls in the working area.
• Mix 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and the paprika into the flour and mix well.
• Season both sides of cube steaks with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
• Dip cube steaks in milk, then dredge in seasoned flour.
• Dip floured steaks in egg wash, then again in the seasoned flour.
• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium heat and do half the cube steaks at a time, or work with two skillets, if you desire.
• Brown the cube steaks on each side, about 8-10 minutes total cooking time; remove from heat and set the steaks aside.
• Drain all but 1 tbsp oil (if any- I don't usually have any, but the steaks are less greasy with less oil) from the pans.
• Add enough butter to the pan to equal 3 tbsp along with the oil.
• Melt the butter and add 3 tbsp flour and stir with a whisk to make a roux, deglazing the bottom of the pan, and cook for a few minutes on LOW heat; do not burn.
• Slowly add the remaining 2 cups milk, and stir or whisk constantly until mixture comes to a boil and thickens; cook for another minute or so and remove from heat.
• Serve Country Fried Steaks (Chicken Fried Steak, as we call it) with plenty of gravy on top, and mashed potatoes on the side (double gravy recipe if you use a LOT of gravy on your potatoes, etc).
