  • Season steaks with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
  • Combine flour and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow plate. Place beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Dredge seasoned steaks in flour. Dip in eggs, then dredge in flour again.
  • Heat lard in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry steaks in hot lard until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from the skillet. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons dredging flour into fat. Cook and stir over medium heat for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook, whisking frequently, until gravy is thickened and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; gravy should be quite peppery.
