Classic Chicken-Fried Steak with Creamy Gravy

1. Prep the Steaks:
   Pound cube steaks lightly to tenderize. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. Bread the Steaks:
   Dredge each steak in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat again in flour, pressing lightly to adhere.

3. Fry the Steaks:
   Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry steaks 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and keep warm.

4. Make the Gravy:
   Using the drippings in the skillet, whisk in 2–3 tablespoons of flour. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Serve:
   Pour the warm gravy over the chicken-fried steaks. Serve with mashed potatoes or biscuits for a classic Southern meal.
