Chicken Fried Steak

This meal is really great, it may seem complicated, but it really is not too hard. For the flour and egg mixtures I like to use glass pie plates.
Ingredients
5-6 cube steaks
All purpose flour in a shallow pan, salt pepper and garlic powder added for flavor.
2-3 eggs stirred
oil for frying steak in about 1-2 inches deep
2 tablespoons flour, 2 cups milk, chicken bouillon for gravy

to start off turn your oil to medium high heat, then dredge each steak in flour, then egg, then into the flour again, repeat with all of the meat, the oil should be hot by now, I usually sprinkle a little bit of the flour into the oil, if it sizzles it is ready. Depending on the size of the meat only add 1-2 steaks at a time to the oil, if you have too much overcrowding then the oil will cool down. Cook about 4 minutes on each side, the steak will be golden brown, place on paper towels to absorb the oil. After all steak is cooked drain all but 2 tablespoons oil off, place pan back on burner and add two tablespoons flour, once a paste is formed add milk, whisk until smooth, then you can add the chicken bouillon, I usually use 1-2 cubes, I also like to add a little garlic powder, salt and pepper. Taste to adjust the flavors to your liking. I serve this with corn and mashed potatoes, I like the gravy on the steak and the potatoes.
