Country Fried Steak and Gravy

• 1 1/2 pounds cube steak
• 1 cup + 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
  
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 eggs beaten
• 2 tablespoons EVOO per pan used
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups milk

Mix flour and spices in a shallow bowl. Lay out another bowl of beaten eggs and a third bowl of the 1.2 cup of milk. Reserve 3-6 tablespoons of the flour mixture for gravy.

Season steaks with salt and pepper. Dredge in milk, then flour, then eggs, then flour again.

Fry steaks in VERY hot oil on medium high heat for 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove steaks and add butter and reserved flour. Use a whisk to make a roux. Cook on low for a few minutes.

Slowly add 2 cups milk, increase heat to medium and stir until it thickens and boils.
