Preparation

Step 1

Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Place 3/4 C flour in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Coat the steaks with the flour, then the egg, letting any excess drip off. Coat again with the flour.

Step 2

In a large, heavy skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium heat. Add 2 streaks and cook, turning once, until golden, 5-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Wipe out the pan. Repeat with the remaining 1/4 cup oil and 2 steaks.

Step 3

Pour off the excess oil from the pan. Add the butter and melt over medium heat. Whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup flour for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then spoon over the steaks.
