Directions

  1. Combine first 3 ingredients; sprinkle on both sides of steaks. Combine egg and 2 tablespoons milk in a shallow dish. Dip steaks in egg mixture; dredge in cracker crumbs. Pour oil to depth of 1/2 inch into a large, heavy duty skillet. Fry steaks in hot oil over medium heat until browned, turning once.
