Tenderize the steak by pounding it with a knife.

Cut into serving pieces.

In a shallow dish, blend the egg and milk.

On a separate plate, mix the crushed saltine crackers with salt and pepper.

Dip each piece of steak into the egg mixture, then coat it with the cracker crumbs.

Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the coated steak pieces.

Brown the steak on both sides, then reduce the heat to low.

Cover the skillet and simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until the steak is tender.

Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

To make the gravy, add a little water to the drippings in the skillet.

Gradually stir in flour until the desired consistency is reached.

Bring the gravy to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened.

Serve the chicken fried steak with the gravy poured over the top.
