Country Fried Steaks with Gravy

7 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided use
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided use
4 (6-ounce) beef cube steaks
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon crushed dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Combine 3 tablespoons flour with the cornmeal, salt and 1/4 teaspoon of 
pepper; set aside.
Coat steaks with 2 tablespoons flour. Beat egg white and water together; dip 
steaks, then dredge in reserved cornmeal mixture.
Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the oil and when hot, 
but not smoking, add the steaks. Sauté until thoroughly cooked, 5 to 7 
minutes
on each side. Remove steaks and hold warm. Repeat with remaining oil and 
steaks.
While steaks cook, melt butter in a medium saucepan; whisk in flour until 
well blended. Gradually add milk and bring to a boil over medium heat. 
Simmer
for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Reduce heat to 
medium-low and add bouillon, marjoram, thyme and 1/8 teaspoon remaining 
pepper.
Cook for 4 to 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve hot gravy with steaks.
Makes 4 servings.
