Chicken Fried Steak with Pan Gravy

Ingredients
Steak
1 lb lean cube steak
1 Tbsp. water
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Fresh ground pepper and salt to taste
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 Tbsp. canola oil

Gravy
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup skim milk

Instructions
Cut steak into four pieces. Beat egg with water until lemon-colored, about 2 minutes. Combine seasonings and sprinkle on both sides of steak. Dredge each piece of steak in flour and shake off excess; dip in egg and again in flour. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Add oil and heat on medium high. Add steak pieces and brown both sides of meat, turning once, for a total of 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 10-15 minutes until juices run clear. Remove steak to a heated plate. Add 2 Tbsp. flour to pan drippings; when light brown, stir in water and milk, whisking until it thickens into a gravy. Add more water if gravy is too thick. Return steaks to skillet; simmer gently until ready to serve.
