Chicken Fried Steak

So, my family requested chicken fried steak this week. I'm not a big fryer, well I really don't do it at all, but I've gotta keep the troops happy. This a variation on Paula Deen's recipe. I don't really measure unless I'm baking, so here goes.

2 lbs round steak
1 1/2 cups flour
Garlic powder, seasoning salt and pepper
Vegetable oil
Season your steaks with the garlic powder. In a bowl, mix together flour, seasoning salt and pepper. Heat your oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Dredge your steaks in the flour mixture and place in the oil. Brown on each side and then place on a paper towel lined plate.

Gravy:
1/4 cup butter
4 cups water
2 Tbsp flour
Salt and pepper
1 bunch green onions, chopped
In the same skillet, melt the butter. With a wooden spoon, scrape up all the good bits off the bottom. Add flour and cook till bubbly and light brown. Slowly pour in the water, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Salt and pepper to taste. Add the steaks back into the skillet. Sprinkle the green onions over the meat and cover. Simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes.
This dish was a huge hit at my house! They declared it better than the school's chicken fried steak;)
