Beat egg white and water; dip steaks, then dredge in cornmeal mixture. , In a large skillet, cook two steaks in 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until crisp, lightly browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove steaks and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining oil and steaks. , Meanwhile, for gravy, melt butter in a small saucepan; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the bouillon, marjoram, thyme and pepper; simmer, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with steaks.

Steps:

• Place 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup milk, and eggs in 3 separate shallow bowls in the working area.
• Mix 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and the paprika into the flour and mix well.
• Season both sides of cube steaks with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
• Dip cube steaks in milk, then dredge in seasoned flour.
• Dip floured steaks in egg wash, then again in the seasoned flour.
• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium heat and do half the cube steaks at a time, or work with two skillets, if you desire.
• Brown the cube steaks on each side, about 8-10 minutes total cooking time; remove from heat and set the steaks aside.
• Drain all but 1 tbsp oil (if any- I don't usually have any, but the steaks are less greasy with less oil) from the pans.
• Add enough butter to the pan to equal 3 tbsp along with the oil.
• Melt the butter and add 3 tbsp flour and stir with a whisk to make a roux, deglazing the bottom of the pan, and cook for a few minutes on LOW heat; do not burn.
• Slowly add the remaining 2 cups milk, and stir or whisk constantly until mixture comes to a boil and thickens; cook for another minute or so and remove from heat.
• Serve Country Fried Steaks (Chicken Fried Steak, as we call it) with plenty of gravy on top, and mashed potatoes on the side (double gravy recipe if you use a LOT of gravy on your potatoes, etc).

Steps:

• In shallow dish, place 1/2 cup Bisquick mix. Into small bowl, pour buttermilk. In another shallow dish, place bread crumbs. Coat beef steaks with Bisquick mix. Dip each coated steak into buttermilk, then coat with bread crumbs.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add steaks; cook 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until thoroughly cooked. Remove from skillet; cover with foil to keep warm.
• In same skillet, cook onions over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
• In tightly covered container, shake 3 tablespoons Bisquick mix and the half-and-half until blended. Pour into onions in skillet. Cook over low heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until gravy is thickened. Pour gravy over steaks; sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225˚F (110˚C).
• Set a steak in the center of a cutting board and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the steak evenly to ¼-inch (½ cm) thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Repeat with the remaining meat.
• In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and 1 cup (240 ml) of milk. In a separate shallow dish, mix together the 1 ½ cups (190 g) of flour, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
• Dredge the steaks in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, letting any excess egg drip off. Coat again in the flour mixture. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, until the coating has dried out a bit.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a 10-inch (25.5 cm) pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C).
• Fry the steaks, 2 at a time, for 3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 minutes more, until golden brown and cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 155˚-165˚F (170˚-175˚C). Transfer the steaks to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet and immediately season with salt. Once all of the steaks are done frying, transfer to the oven while you prepare the gravy.
• Pour the hot oil into a heatproof bowl and let cool before discarding. 9. Leave any browned bits in the pan.
• In the same pan, without wiping it out, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour, whisking to incorporate. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the roux is a light brown color. Add the heavy cream and remaining milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle the gravy over the steaks and serve with your favorite side dishes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cut steaks 3/4-inch thick. Pound the steaks with meat tenderizing hammer until about 1/4-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and rub on other spices if you have them.
• Start heating beef tallow or grease in Dutch oven. Be sure you have enough grease in the pan to cover the steaks (at least 1-inch.) Put the buttermilk in bowl and put the flour on a plate. Wet the steaks in buttermilk and then drag through flour making sure both sides have flour on them. If a thicker crust is wanted, then repeat this procedure again. When grease just begins to smoke, then you are ready to drop in a steak and cook. Cook steak until golden brown on both sides turning steak in grease, if needed. Repeat until all steaks are cooked.

Steps:

• Whisk together the egg and milk in a shallow bowl; set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, crushed saltines, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and steak seasoning. Dip the steaks in the egg mixture, then press each steak in the flour mixture. Pat the flour mixture into the steaks to coat them completely.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and fry the steaks until they are golden brown, firm, hot in the center, and just turning from pink to grey, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Steps:

• Pour flour into a mixing bowl and season generously with seasoning salt, salt, and pepper.
• Whisk eggs and milk together in a separate bowl.
• Place steaks on a cutting board between two layers of plastic wrap; beat with a meat tenderizer on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Discard plastic wrap and sprinkle seasoning salt on top of steaks. Dip steaks in flour mixture until coated on both sides. Dip into egg mixture, then back into flour mixture a second time; steaks should be completely covered in flour on both sides. Sprinkle again with seasoning salt.
• Fill a large skillet halfway with vegetable oil and heat to medium-high. Allow oil to heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry steaks in the hot oil for 3 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• While steaks are frying, stir water into gravy mix in 2-quart microwavable bowl. Microwave on high until thickened, stirring every minute, 4 to 6 minutes total.
• Serve hot steaks with gravy.

Steps:

• Combine 3 tablespoons flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper; set aside.
• Coat steaks with remaining flour.
• Beat egg white and water; dip steaks, then dredge in cornmeal mixture.
• In a skillet over medium high heat, cook two steaks in 1 tablespoon oil for 5-7 minutes on each side or until crisp, lightly browned and cooked as desired.
• Remove steaks and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining oil and steaks.
• Meanwhile, for gravy, melt butter in a saucepan; stir in flour until well blended. Gradually add milk; bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for two minutes, stirring constantly; reduce heat to medium low.
• Add bouillon, marjoram, thyme and pepper; simmer, uncoved for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Serve over steaks.

Steps:

• DO NOT DEFROST THE STEAKS, they must be frozen when cooked, otherwise they become a bit tough.
• Melt the shortening. Lower heat to medium or medium high.
• Dip FROZEN steaks in the Italian dressing, next into the crumbs until meat is completely covered.
• Pan fry meat in hot shortening over medium-high heat, long enough to brown both sides, no more than 2 minutes per side, and if the steak is very thin, that would be too long!
