Step 2
Dip steaks in egg and then flour mixture. (I only do this once but some people dip in the egg, then flour, then egg again and flour again). Make sure they are well coated with flour. In a skillet on top of the stove heat oil to sizzling.(When you put a drop of water in oil it sizzles).
Step 3
Add steaks to hot oil being very careful since oil is so hot. Cook 4 to 6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove steaks to a plate and cover to keep warm.
