Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy

This is one of my favorite meals I ate growing up!

• 4 round steaks
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 cups oil for frying

Mix flour, powder, soda, salt, & pepper in a bowl.  In a separate bowl, mix milk, garlic and egg.  Dip the steak in the egg mixture then in the flower mixture.  Pat flower on steak so it is completely covered.  Heat oil in a skillet to 325 degrees.  Fry steak in oil until browned, for 5-10 min on each side.  Place on a plate lined with paper towel to drain. 

Drain most of fat from skillet, leaving 1/4 cup oil and as much of the solid remnants as possible.  Add 1/4 cup of flour (I just add any leftover flour from steak mixture, and add some if needed) and stir with spatula to get off everything from pan.  Add 4 cups of milk and salt and pepper to taste.  Simmer gravy until thick, about 5 min.  Pour over stake and mashed potatoes.
