Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients
1 pound Laura's Lean Round Steak, cut into 4 thin slices
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
38 soda crackers (1 sleeve), crushed
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 (8-ounce) container egg substitute
2 cups fat-free milk, divided
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley (optional)

Directions
1. Flatten steaks to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Combine crushed crackers, 3/4 cup flour, and red pepper. Stir together egg substitute and 1/2 cup milk. Dip steaks into egg mixture; dredge in cracker mixture, pressing lightly into cracker mixture.
3. Cook steaks in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove steaks from skillet; drain on paper towels and keep warm.
4. Whisk together remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, remaining 2 tablespoons flour, and remaining each of 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pour mixture into reserved drippings in skillet; cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, 10 to 12 minutes or until thickened. Serve gravy over steaks. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Cooking Tip: If you like a thicker gravy add more flour or reduce the amount of milk.
