In a bowl, beat the 2 eggs and milk until they are well combined. Set aside.

In another large bowl, combine the MSG and flour together. The bowl should be big enough to batter the steaks.

Season the steaks to taste with salt and pepper, then coat both sides of the steaks in flour one at a time. After that, dip them into the egg and back into the flour. Once this has been done for all steaks, place them on a plate.

Over medium heat, fill a large skillet with about half a cup of oil and let it warm for about five minutes.

Cook the steaks on each side for about 2 to 3 minutes until they turn golden brown.

Once the steaks are done cooking, let them drain and set aside. Pour the leftover oil into a heat-safe bowl.

To make the gravy, melt the butter in the pan then add the flour, stir to combine both ingredients for roughly 10 to 15 minutes over medium-low heat, until caramelized. It's what gives the gravy its color.

Slowly pour in the milk, salt, and pepper into the skillet, stirring occasionally. The mixture should be thick but not paste-like. Lastly, fry the eggs as desired.

Once your eggs are ready, serve them alongside some toast and steaks with ⅓ cup of gravy on top, alongside mixed vegetables.
