Directions
Preheat large, heavy skillet over medium high heat.
Set steaks on to a waxed paper lined work surface and cover with another piece of waxed paper. Pound steaks to 1/4-inch thick. Pull steaks off work surface and set to the side. Line work surface with more waxed paper. Pour 1/2 cup flour into 2 piles on opposite sides of the work space. Add cornmeal, paprika, salt and pepper to 1 pile of flour. Beat eggs and water in a pie plate or shallow dish.
Cut steaks into 4 portions and coat in flour, eggs, then seasoned flour and cornmeal.
Add 2 tablespoons oil to hot pan and cook 2 steaks at a time. Brown steaks about 2 minutes per side, or until cooked and remove from the pan. Add 2 tablespoons more oil and repeat with remaining 2 steaks. Remove steaks to serving platter and pour off all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of drippings. Add 2 tablespoons flour to drippings and cook 2 minutes. Whisk in broth and season with salt and pepper. Whisk half and half or cream into gravy. When gravy bubbles, remove from heat.
Serve steaks and warm biscuits with gravy on top.

This recipe was very simple to make but it did not turn out the way I had hoped. At least the dog enjoyed it.

This came out so good! I made my own homemade drop biscuits but did everything else the same. My husband said it tasted like a gourmet version of chicken fried steak. I really loved it too! Making it again tonight! This will be a regular every month!

I never made chicken fried steaks before until a friend wanted me to make it for his 50th birthday. I searched and searched for a recipe and this one was a winner all the way. Thanks Rachel...again you make me look as if I can cook!!!
