Ingredients
- 4 cubed steaks

- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

- 3 tablespoons oil from pan drippings
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 cans (12 ounces each) evaporated milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Here's how to make it:
- Put the eggs into a shallow bowl. In another bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, black pepper and salt, to taste. Pour some milk into a third bowl.
- Heat about a 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan.
- Dip the steaks into the milk, then into the egg, then into the flour. Shake gently to remove the excess.
- Put the steaks into the hot oil and cook until well browned on both sides. Transfer to paper towels and keep warm.
