# How To Make It:
01 - Pat the cube steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
02 - Arrange three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper; one with beaten eggs and 1/2 cup milk; and one with breadcrumbs.
03 - Dredge each steak in the seasoned flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure even coverage.
04 - Pour enough vegetable oil into a large skillet to cover the bottom by about 1/2 inch and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.
05 - Cook the steaks in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and keep warm.
06 - Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the oil from the skillet. Add flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute over medium heat to cook out the raw flour taste.
07 - Gradually whisk in the milk while scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Continue whisking and cook for 3–5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
08 - Plate the fried steaks immediately, topped generously with the creamy gravy and garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
