Directions
In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs and ⅔ cup milk.
Whisk in ¾ cup flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
Pour cracker crumbs into a soup plate or pie pan.
Dip steaks first into the egg mixture and then into the cracker crumbs.
Press crumbs into steaks. In a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil. Place prepared steaks in the heated skillet, and fry for 6 minutes on one side. Add the remaining two tablespoons oil, and fry 6 minutes on the other side. Remove steaks from pan. Prepare gravy: Stir ¼ cup flour into drippings in the skillet. Add enough oil to wet the flour. Stir flour and oil until fully mixed; a bit at a time, whisk in milk, and deglaze the pan. Add onions, and after the milk comes to a boil, cook 1 minute longer. Stir in salt and pepper. Return steaks to pan, and cook another 20 minutes over very low heat. When turning steaks or moving them to the platter, slide a large spatula under the steak so as not to tear off the now moist batter. Spoon gravy over steaks, and serve.
