Prepare a dredging station: in one bowl mix flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk eggs and buttermilk until well blended.
Pat cube steak pieces dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Dredge each steak first in seasoned flour, then in egg mixture, and again in flour, pressing for extra coating.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Carefully add steaked pieces, leaving space for each to cook evenly.
Fry for 3–4 minutes per side, adjusting the heat to maintain a steady sizzle and golden brown crust. Remove steaks and drain on a wire rack for optimal crispness.
To make white gravy, reduce heat to medium-low. Melt butter in skillet, whisk in 2 tbsp leftover seasoned flour, cook for 1 minute. Gradually pour in milk, whisking constantly until thick and smooth. Season gravy to taste and serve over the crispy steaks.
