ISO: Chicken Fried Steak (Texas style)

This is how my mom did it and it tastes great! Hope it helps!

Chicken Fried Steak

1 round steak, whatever size needed
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tbs garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
vegetable or canola oil

Heat about 1 inch or so of oil in skillet. (i use an electric skillet but any type will do.) Pound round steak out to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness and cut into serving size pieces. In small bowl mix eggs and milk togeter with wisk. Spread flour out on wax paper. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to flour and mix together well. Roll individual steaks in FLOUR FIRST then egg mixture. By doing it this way, it is easier to get a crunchier crust as opposed to a soft crust. Place in hot oil and cook on medium heat turning after about 4 minutes to cook both sides and seal juices in. Then cook turning frequently until juices run clear or meat is no longer pink. Serve with white grave and mashed potatoes! ***I always add a good shake of garlic powder and salt each time i turn my steak. It adds extra flavor if you like garlic! For a different variety of chicken fried steak, after the steak is 1/2 way through cooking, i remove steak from pan and drain oil. Then place steak back into pan and add just enough water to cover steak. Then cover pan and cook on low until steak is done. The water will make a really nice gravy that has great flavor. Usually i have to add water at times to keep a good amount of gravy in pan until steak reaches desired doneness. Enjoy!
