Cut 2.5 cube steaks into bite-sized pieces, cutting with the grain.

Season the steak pieces with 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika, 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Mix to coat the meat evenly.

In a bowl, combine 1.5 cups all-purpose flour and 0.5 cups cornstarch, mixing well.

Prepare the egg wash by combining 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons of milk in a bowl and mixing.

Season the flour mixture by adding 0.5 teaspoons of kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and Old Bay seasoning, then mix well.

Dredge each piece of steak in the flour, then dip into the egg wash, and return to the flour. Place on a wire rack to rest.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet until hot. Test the oil with a small piece of steak.

Fry the steak bites in the hot oil for 4 to 6 minutes until golden and crispy, turning occasionally. Remove and place on a wire rack.

In the same skillet, add a little olive oil and 8 ounces of ground pork sausage, cooking until browned.

Add 0.5 cups of chopped onions to the sausage and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

Sprinkle flour over the sausage and onions, cooking for a few seconds to combine.

Slowly stir in milk, cooking until the gravy thickens. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper, cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes before removing from heat.

Plate the chicken-fried steak bites and top with sausage gravy.
