Preparation

Step 1

In a shallow dish, combine 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In another shallow dish, combine the eggs and water. Place bread crumbs in a third shallow dish; add cayenne pepper and mix well.. Coat steaks with flour mixture then dip in egg mixture, and coat with bread crumb mixture.

In a large nonstick skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add steaks, and fry 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden. Drain on a paper towel-lined platter and cover to keep warm.

Make a white gravy by adding remaining 1 tablespoon butter to skillet and melting over low heat; add remaining 1 tablespoon flour, and stir until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Serve steaks topped with gravy.
