2. Coat the Steaks: Dip each cube steak into a small amount of milk, then dredge it thoroughly in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated on all sides.

3. Heat the Pan: In a frying pan, heat about 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. You want the oil to be hot enough to sizzle when you add the steaks.

4. Fry the Steaks: Carefully place the coated steaks into the hot oil. Cook for about 5 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your steaks.

5. Flip and Finish: Before flipping the steaks, sprinkle some more of the flour mixture over them to absorb any excess juices. Use a spatula to pat it down gently. Once the first side is golden brown, flip the steaks and cook for another 3 minutes, or until cooked through.

6. Keep Warm: Once cooked, remove the steaks from the pan and keep them warm while you prepare the mushroom gravy.

7. Prepare the Mushroom Gravy: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, then toss in the sliced mushrooms. Sauté them until they are tender and golden brown.

8. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in about 1/4 cup of water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. This will infuse the gravy with extra flavor from the steak drippings.

9. Thicken the Gravy: Sprinkle the remaining flour over the mushrooms and stir continuously for about a minute, allowing the flour to cook and become golden.

10. Add Milk: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue cooking until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

11. Season and Serve: Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the chicken fried steaks smothered in the savory mushroom gravy, alongside fluffy mashed potatoes and your favorite veggies. Enjoy the delicious comfort of this classic Southern dish!
