DIRECTIONS
For Chicken Fried Steak: Place eggs and flour in two separate wide bowls. Add 1 1/2 Tbsp. Chicken Fried Steak Seasoning to each and mix in seasoning with a fork. Dredge steaks in flour, dip in eggs, then coat again with flour. Place breaded steaks onto a wire rack set on top of a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 min. or up to 2 hours. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Add about 1/2-inch of oil to a 12-inch wide cast iron skillet. Heat oil to 375 degrees and carefully add breaded steaks, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Cook for about 3 min. per side, or until golden brown. Drain excess oil by placing steaks onto a clean wire rack set on top of a baking sheet. Keep steaks warm in the oven while you prepare the gravy.
For Gravy: Melt butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat and whisk in flour to form a paste. Slowly whisk in cold milk and add Country Fried Steak Seasoning. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for 2 to 3 min., or until mixture thickens. Gravy should coat the back of a spoon while remaining pourable. Adjust consistency with additional milk if needed and add more seasoning to taste.
