This recipe is from Pioneer Woman's cookbook: The Pioneer Woman Cooks, put in my own words because no one can replicate her
3 lbs cube stead
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk, plus 2 cups for gravy
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus about 1/3 cup for the gravy
2 tsp seasoned salt
3/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup canola or veggie oil for frying

1) Mix eggs and 1 cup milk, put in plate or bowl and set aside
2) Mix seasoned salt, paprika, cayenne, black pepper and flour, put in a plate or bowl and set aside
3)Take a piece of meat (seasoned with salt and pepper) and dip it in the egg mixture to coat both sides.
4) Place meat in flour mixture and coat thoroughly
5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 once more
6) Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry 3 pieces of meat at a time, cook until edges start to look golden brown and then flip and cook on other side.
