Wow. I really had high hopes for this dish; unfortunately the recipe is a disaster. To begin with, the proportions are all wrong. I had 6 pieces of beef; I used 1 egg and 1/2 cup of milk for the egg wash, and 1 cup of flour for dredging, and still had too much. An entire quart of milk is too much for the gravy, unless you want to flood the meat; 2 cups is plenty. The cooking time is too long; 15 minutes frying a thin piece of beef will turn it into boot leather. And you need a LOT of salt and pepper to compensate for the blandness of all that flour and milk. I'm sorry; I wanted to like this, but I just can't. Made for Spring 2010 PAC.
