Steps:
- * Place steak between 2 sheets of waxed paper and pound to 1/2-inch thickness; slice steak into 4 equal pieces. * Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of pepper on a plate. Combine 1/4 cup of milk and egg white in a shallow bowl. Place bread crumbs on another plate. * Dip a piece of steak in flour mixture; turn to coat both sides. Next, dip steak in milk mixture; turn to coat both sides. Lastly, dip steak in bread crumbs; turn to coat both sides and set aside. Repeat with remaining pieces of steak; reserve 1 tablespoon of leftover flour. * In a large nonstick skillet, over medium heat, brown bacon, flipping once, about 5 minutes; remove from skillet and set aside. Add steaks to same skillet and place over medium-high heat. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium, or longer to desired degree of doneness. Remove steaks and set aside. * Off heat, coat skillet with cooking spray and set over medium heat. When hot, add onion; cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add reserved tablespoon of flour; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Pour in remaining cup of milk, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to medium-low; add remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/8 teaspoon of pepper and hot sauce. Crumble bacon; stir into skillet. Increase heat to medium and cook until gravy is thickened, stirring constantly, about 1 to 3 minutes. Spoon gravy over steaks and serve immediately. Yields about 3 ounces of steak and 1/4 cup of gravy per serving.
Tips:
- For a crispier coating, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
- Make sure the chicken is dry before coating it in the flour mixture. This will help the coating adhere better.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to fry the chicken. This will help prevent overcrowding, which can result in soggy chicken.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the chicken. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and will also help it cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will ensure that the chicken is safe to eat and has a delicious flavor.
- Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.
