Season steaks with salt and pepper.
Reserve 1/4 cup of flour.
Dredge each steak in flour, egg and cracker crumbs.
In a large cast iron skillet over medium high, heat corn oil.
Add steaks and cook until golden brown and crisp.
Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Pour off all but 4 tablespoons of the remaining oil and set over low heat.
Slowly Whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup of flour into the oil and bring to simmer.
Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a simmer.
Season with salt and pepper.
Divide the rice on to four places.
place the steaks on top of the rice, then one fried egg on the steak.
Cover with gravy.

For extra crispy coating, chill the dredged steaks for 10 minutes before frying.
Use a cast iron skillet for even heat distribution and the best crust on the steak.
Let the gravy simmer gently to avoid lumps—whisk continuously for a silky texture.

Instead of flour, use gluten-free all-purpose flourFor a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
Instead of milk, use unsweetened almond milk or oat milkDairy-free alternatives work well; add a pinch of salt to mimic dairy flavor.
Instead of cracker crumbs, use panko breadcrumbs or crushed pork rindsPanko adds extra crunch; pork rinds keep it low-carb.
