  • Pour flour into a mixing bowl and season generously with seasoning salt, salt, and pepper.
  • Whisk eggs and milk together in a separate bowl.
  • Place steaks on a cutting board between two layers of plastic wrap; beat with a meat tenderizer on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Discard plastic wrap and sprinkle seasoning salt on top of steaks. Dip steaks in flour mixture until coated on both sides. Dip into egg mixture, then back into flour mixture a second time; steaks should be completely covered in flour on both sides. Sprinkle again with seasoning salt.
  • Fill a large skillet halfway with vegetable oil and heat to medium-high. Allow oil to heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Fry steaks in the hot oil for 3 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • While steaks are frying, stir water into gravy mix in 2-quart microwavable bowl. Microwave on high until thickened, stirring every minute, 4 to 6 minutes total.
  • Serve hot steaks with gravy.
