Kat's Cracker Coated Chicken Fried Steak & Onions

2/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground pepper
2 pounds top round steak, tenderized, about 1/2" thick
2 eggs
2 tablespoons cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups saltine cracker crumbs, rolled fine
1 onion, sliced
1/2 cup cream
2 cups chicken broth, approximately
1 dash Worcestershire sauce, optional
1 dash Hot sauce, optional
Mix 1/2 cup of flour with the salt and pepper. Pound the mixture into both sides of the meat with the edge of a heavy plate or mallet. Cut the meat into serving-size pieces. Beat the eggs together with the cream. Heat the oil in a heavy iron skillet over moderately high heat. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the flour. Dredge the steaks in the remainder of the flour, dip in the egg mixture, and then into the cracker crumbs. Add to the hot oil. Brown the steaks well, turn and brown the other side. Reduce heat to medium, cover the skillet, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steaks are cooked through and tender. Chicken-fried steak should be well done, but not dry. Remove the steaks from the pan, and drain on brown paper bags. Keep warm. Add the onion slices to the pan and saute quickly. Remove.
