Chicken Fried Steak

6 4-ounce cubed steaks (1-1/2 lb.)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup egg substitute
45   saltine crackers, crushed
    Vegetable cooking spray
    Cream Gravy (see below)
Flatten steaks with palm of hand; sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Dredge steaks in flour; dip in egg substitute, and dredge in crushed crackers.  Lightly coat steaks on each side with cooking spray.

Cook steaks, in batches, in a hot nonstick skillet over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until golden, turning twice.  Transfer steaks to a wire rack in a jelly0roll pan.  Keep warm in a 225 degree oven.  Serve with Cream Gravy.

Note:  In order to get the steaks to a golden brown, I had to add a little bit of vegetable oil to the skillet.  Also, I use this recipe with only 4 steaks and it comes out just right.

Cream Gravy
1-1/2    cups 1% low-fat milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon        low-sodium jarred chicken soup base      
1/2 teaspoon pepper
        salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)

Gradually whisk milk into flour until smooth; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture is thickened and bubbly.  Whisk in soup base and pepper.

Note:  I couldn't find the jarred chicken soup base so instead I used one chicken bouillon cube dissolved in 3 tablespoons of water.  Also, I like gravy so I make more gravy than specified in the recipe.
