Chicken Fried Steak

I know that this is more of a southern thing, but The Hubbs seriously LOVES chicken fried steak!  I make it every once in a while, and it is actually pretty easy to make.

Ingredients:
1.5 pounds of steak--you want a thin cut steak, and if you can find some that has already been tenderized, you are really in luck!
2 eggs
milk--about 1/4 cup or so, and if you have buttermilk on hand it's even better
1 1/2 to 2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
dash of pepper--to taste
oil

Directions:
If your steaks have not already been tenderized, you need to tenderize them with a meat mallet--or the bottom of a frying pan if you don't have a mallet
Heat your oil to 340 in a skillet--I use am electric one, and it works great
Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl--make sure the bottom of the bowl is roomy enough to lay your steaks in one at a time
Combine eggs and milk in another bowl--again make sure it has enough room for the steaks
Place steaks one at a time into the flour, then into the egg mixture and then back into the flour
Make sure you  thoroughly coat with the flour both times
Just dip the steaks into the egg mixture, don't let them sit in it
Place the steaks in the oil and fry them until both sides are a nice golden brown
**If the batter comes off, or does not stick well to the steaks, your oil is not hot enough**

Then just mash some potatoes mix up a salad--or maybe make some corn on the cob--and you're good to go.  You can also use some of the leftover oil to make gravy because if you're going to eat chicken fried steak, you might as well throw calorie counting out the window and go all out!  :0)
