Fried steak with green beans and rice
Description
Preheat the oven to 120 degrees. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, cover with a lid, and set aside. In one bowl, beat the eggs; in another, mix 1 cup of flour with paprika. Season the eggs, flour mixture, and steaks with salt and pepper. Dredge each steak in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and then coat again in the flour. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 1/4 cup of oil over medium heat. Cook the steaks until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet. Add the remaining teaspoon of flour and cook, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly. Increase the heat and cook until the sauce thickens, 4 to 5 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside. In a medium skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the green beans and 1/3 cup of water, cover, and cook until the beans turn bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking until the beans are tender and the onions turn brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Reheat the sauce, adding a little milk if necessary. Serve the steaks with green beans, rice, and sauce.
