How to cook it · about 40 minutes
- Season the steaks. Beat the eggs with a cup of the milk in one dish and season two cups of the flour heavily in another.
- Dip each steak in flour, then egg, then flour again, pressing hard. Let them sit five minutes so the coating sticks.
- Heat half an inch of oil in a heavy skillet to about 340°F. Fry two at a time, three to four minutes a side, until deep gold.
- Keep them warm on a rack. Pour off all but about three tablespoons of the fat, leaving the brown bits in the pan.
- Whisk in the remaining flour over medium heat and cook it a full minute — raw flour is what makes gravy taste of paste.
- Pour in the rest of the milk a little at a time, whisking. Simmer until it coats a spoon, then black pepper until it looks like too much. That is the right amount.
