1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup unseasoned dry bread crumbs

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Sauce:
1/2 cup refrigerated prepared blue cheese dressing

1 teaspoon green hot pepper sauce

Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper is shallow dish. Whisk egg and water together in shallow bowl until blended. Combine bread crumbs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, garlic powder and red pepper in separate shallow dish.

Cut steaks into a total of 4 serving-size pieces. Place between sheets of waxed paper; pound to 1/4 inch thickness. Dip each steak in flour mixture to coat both sides lightly; shake off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then in bread crumb mixture to coat.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place 2 steaks in skillet; cook 5 minutes or until coating is crisp and golden and beef is medium rare, turning once. (Do not overcook.) Remove steaks; keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil, if needed, and steaks.
