Chicken-Fried Steak

Stir together first 3 ingredients in a shallow dish. Combine buttermilk and hot sauce in a bowl. Dredge steaks in flour mixture; dip into buttermilk mixture, and dip again in flour mixture.

Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks, and cook 5 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet. Drain steaks on paper towels.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in skillet; whisk in 2 tablespoons flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 5 minutes or until light golden brown. Gradually whisk in milk; cook, whisking constantly, over medium heat until thickened and bubbly (about 10 minutes). Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve over steaks.
