Country-Fried Pork Steak

Instructions

1. In a shallow bowl whisk together flour, pepper and seasoned salt. In a separate shallow bowl whisk together 1/2 cup milk, hot sauce and eggs. Pat steaks dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
2. Dredge steaks in flour mixture then dip in egg mixture, letting excess egg drip off. Return steaks to flour mixture and turn to coat. Set aside.
3. Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, fry steaks until golden brown and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Place steaks on a paper towel-lined plate and cover with foil.
4. Remove all but 3 tablespoons of oil from pan and warm over medium heat. Add remaining flour and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture turns deep brown, 4-5 minutes. Whisk in remaining milk, pepper and garlic powder. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5-7 minutes.
5. Top steaks with gravy and chives and serve with vegetables of choice.
