In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs, mix with 1 cup of the milk, and season with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper.

Heat oil for frying in a large skillet. 

Season each steak on both sides with some salt and pepper. Dip in flour, then in egg mixture, then back in the flour, shaking the excess off. Place in hot oil. Fry on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove onto paper towel lined plate.

Once all the steaks have been fried, drain all but 1/4 cup of the oil from the skillet. Return skillet to stove. Add remaining 1/2 cup flour and season with 2 tsp salt and 2 tsp pepper. Whisk until nice and smooth. Cook for 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly. Add the water and remaining 2 cups of milk. Whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook for a couple of minutes or until thickened.

Serve gravy immediately over warm steaks and fresh biscuits, if desired. YUM! Enjoy!
