Country-Fried Steak with Green Beans and Rice Recipe

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Cook rice according to package instructions; cover, and set aside. In a wide, shallow bowl, beat eggs; in another, combine 1 cup flour with paprika.

Season eggs, flour mixture, and steaks with salt and pepper. Dredge each steak in flour, then dip in egg; allow excess to drip off, then dredge in flour again.

In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat ¼ cup oil over medium-high. Cook steaks in skillet until crust is golden, which will take about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet, and place in oven to keep warm.

Pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil from skillet. Add remaining teaspoon flour; cook, whisking until golden. Gradually add milk while whisking; raise heat to high, and boil until thickened. Season gravy with salt and pepper. Cover, and set aside.

In a medium skillet, heat remaining teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add green beans and a third cup water; cover, and cook until green beans are bright green.

Uncover; continue to cook until green beans are crisp-tender and onion begins to brown. Reheat gravy, thinning with milk if necessary. Serve steak with green beans, rice, and gravy.
