Method
Preparing the Steak
- 1
Tenderize the Steaks
Using a meat mallet, pound the beef round steaks to about 1/2 inch thickness. This will help them cook evenly and become tender.
- 2
Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, mix together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp onion powder.
- 3
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In another bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs and 1 cup of milk until well combined.

Cooking the Steak
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- 6
Fry the Steaks
Carefully place the coated steaks in the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Making the Gravy

Make the Roux
In the same skillet used for the steaks (with some oil left), add 1 cup of all-purpose flour over medium heat. Stir constantly for about 2-3 minutes until the flour turns a light brown color.

Add Beef Broth
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy thickens, around 5-7 minutes.

Season the Gravy
