Ingredients

Scale

1 lb beef round steak (top round or sirloin)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
3 tbsp bacon grease (or cooking oil)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

Tenderize the beef round steak until about half an inch thick.
Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Set up a dredging station: one bowl with flour and another with whisked eggs and milk.
Dip each piece of steak in flour, then egg mixture, and back into flour for extra crunch.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry coated steaks until golden brown on both sides (about 4 minutes per side).
For the gravy, use bacon grease in a separate pan, whisk in additional flour, then gradually add chicken broth until thickened.
Serve fried steaks drizzled with gravy.
