Season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Place 4 cups of the flour in a large bowl or shallow dish. Combine the eggs and 1/4 cup of the milk in a separate bowl. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Flick some flour into the oil; when it sizzles the oil is hot enough. Dredge the steak in the flour, coating both sides and shaking off excess. Dip in the milk and then again in the flour. Fry the steak, a few pieces at a time, until the edges turn golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Pour the cooking grease into a heatproof bowl or measuring cup. Without cleaning the skillet, return it to the stove over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 cup of the drippings to the skillet, scraping up all the brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. When the oil is hot, whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup flour until the flour begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the remaining 2 cups milk, whisking constantly until the gravy begins to thicken, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 250 °F and get out an oven safe platter/pan.
• Start by pounding the steaks to about 1/4-inch thickness to ensure even cooking throughout.
• Salt and pepper each steak on both sides thoroughly.
• In a medium bowl, add the 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, onion powder and set aside.
• In a second bowl, mix together the buttermilk, egg, Tabasco sauce and minced garlic.
• Place the steak first in the flour, covering completely on all sides, then remove and dredge in the second bowl with the remaining ingredients. Ensure you cover completely.
• Now place the steak back into the flour mixture and coat thoroughly so that the steaks are covered in the dry flour. Place on a baking sheet and let rest while you heat the oil.
• Place a 1/4 inch of oil in a deep skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Fry the steaks until golden brown. This can take up to 5 minutes per side but be sure to keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• For the steak: Begin with setting up an assembly line of dishes. Mix the milk with the eggs in one; the flour mixed with the seasoned salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, paprika and cayenne in another; and the meat in a third. Then have one clean plate at the end to receive the breaded meat.
• Work with one piece of meat at a time. Sprinkle both sides with kosher salt and black pepper, then place it in the flour mixture. Turn to coat. Place the meat into the milk/egg mixture, turning to coat. Finally, place it back in the flour and turn to coat (dry mixture/wet mixture/dry mixture). Place the breaded meat on the clean plate, then repeat with the remaining meat.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. Drop in a few sprinkles of flour to make sure it's sufficiently hot. When the butter sizzles immediately, you know it's ready. (It should not brown right away, if it does, the fire is too hot.) Cook the meat, 3 pieces at a time, until the edges start to look golden brown, about 2 minutes each side. Remove the meat to a paper towel-lined plate and keep them warm by covering lightly with another plate or a sheet of foil. Repeat until all the meat is cooked.
• After all the meat is fried, pour off the grease into a heatproof bowl. Without cleaning the skillet, return it to the stove over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 cup of the grease back to the skillet and allow it to heat up.
• For the gravy: When the grease is hot, sprinkle the flour evenly over the grease. Using a whisk, mix the flour with the grease, creating a golden-brown paste. Add more flour if it looks overly greasy; add a little more grease if it becomes too pasty/clumpy. Keep cooking until the roux reaches a deep golden brown color.
• Pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Add the seasoned salt and black pepper to taste and cook, whisking, until the gravy is smooth and thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Be prepared to add more milk if it becomes overly thick. Be sure to taste to make sure gravy is sufficiently seasoned.
• Serve the meat next to a big side of mashed potatoes. Pour gravy over the whole shebang!

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK W/ COUNTRY GRAVY

Steps:

• To season the tenderized steaks, mix together sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Season both sides of steaks. Set aside.
• In a large dish (I use a glass casserole dish) , whisk together flour, and all of the remaining coating mix seasonings until combined.
• In another large dish, place ½ cup of the seasoned flour into the dish. Add in the egg and enough milk to create a thick batter.
• Dip the steak in the flour mixture first, lightly coating both sides.
• Next dip the steak into the batter mixture, coating both sides and letting the excess drip off.
• Finally place the steak back into the flour mixture, being sure to press the flour into the steaks, coating both sides. Repeat until all steaks have been coated.
• Preheat your oven to 200 F. Place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and place it into the oven. (This will be where you will keep the cooked steaks to keep them warm until you are ready to serve).
• Fill a large deep skillet with about an inch of canola oil and heat to 350 F.
• Fry the steaks 1-2 at a time, (about 2-3 minutes per side) until golden. Place finished steaks on the cooling rack in the oven. Repeat until all steaks have been fried.
• Carefully drain the oil from the pan and wipe out the pan. (You can leave the flavorful brown bits in the bottom of the pan if desired. If you do, this will result in a tan and not white gravy though)
• Add butter to the pan over medium heat.
• Once the butter has melted, add flour to the pan.
• Cooked while stirring constantly until golden brown,(about 2-3 minutes). This will remove the raw flour taste.
• Gently whisk in the broth and milk a little at a time.
• Cook while stirring constantly to remove any lumps and until the mixture begins to thicken to your liking. (Cook longer if you want thicker gravy or add more milk if you want thinner gravy)
• Season gravy with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and a bit of thyme until your desired flavor is reached (Be sure to taste after each seasoning to prevent overseasoning the gravy. Let your tastebuds be your guide. The end result should taste good enough to eat plain!)
