Step 1

Place enough oil in a pan to just coat the bottom and put that over medium heat while you prepare your steak.

Step 2

In a bowl, place 1 cup flour and add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/ 4 teaspoon pepper (more if you prefer). Stir that up. Dip each piece of steak into flour on both sides to get it coated well.

Step 3

Place each piece of steak in the heated pan and cook until good and brown on both sides. Remove steak to a plate while you make your gravy.

Step 4

Place about 1/4 cup flour into skillet with meat drippings. Add a little more salt and pepper and stir this over medium heat until the flour is slightly browned (just a few minutes).

Step 5

Slowly pour in 1 1/2 cups of milk, stirring constantly. Continue stirring with a wire whisk (to help with the lumps) over the lowest heat setting until thickened and there are no lumps. This will happen rather quickly. Add a little more milk if you prefer thinner gravy. Return steak to the pan and turn to coat with gravy on both sides.

Step 6

Serve steak and gravy together in a bowl or serve gravy on the side to go with mashed potatoes.
