🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Set up your dredging station with three shallow dishes: one for seasoned flour, one for whisked eggs with a splash of milk, and another for more seasoned flour.

Season the flour generously with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Dip each steak piece first in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.

Then dip into the egg wash, letting the extra drip off.

Finally, back into the seasoned flour for a second coat, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.

Heat about half an inch of oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add your breaded steaks, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, adjusting time based on thickness.

Remove the steaks and let them drain briefly on a wire rack.

Serve immediately, ideally smothered in creamy country gravy.
