Place 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup milk, and eggs in 3 separate shallow bowls in the working area. Mix 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and the paprika into the flour and mix well.
-
Season both sides of cube steaks with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
-
Dip the cube steaks in the milk and then dredge in seasoned flour. Dip the floured steaks in the egg wash, then again in the seasoned flour.
-
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium heat and do half the cube steaks at a time, or work with two skillets, if you desire.
-
Brown the cube steaks on each side, about 8-10 minutes total cooking time; remove from the heat and set the steaks aside.
-
Drain all but 1 tbsp oil (if any- I don't usually have any, but the steaks are less greasy with less oil) from the pans. Add enough butter to the pan to equal 3 tbsp along with the oil.
-
Melt the butter and add 3 tbsp flour and stir with a whisk to make a roux, deglazing the bottom of the pan, and cook for a few minutes on LOW heat; do not burn.
-
Slowly add the remaining 2 cups of milk, and stir or whisk constantly until mixture comes to a boil and thickens; cook for another minute or so and remove from heat.
