Method

1
Set aside 2 tablespoons of the flour for the gravy. Season the steaks with half the salt. Beat the egg with 2 tablespoons of the milk in a shallow bowl, and put the rest of the flour in a second bowl.
-
2
Coat each steak in flour, dip it in the egg mixture, then coat in flour again. Shake off any loose flour.
-
3
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the steaks in a single layer, turning once, until golden and 71°C (160°F) in the center. Move them to a rack.
-
4
Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet. Stir in the reserved flour over medium heat for 1 minute.
-
5
Slowly whisk in the remaining milk, add the rest of the salt and the black pepper, and simmer until thick enough to spoon over the steaks.
