Eliminate the garlic salt and rub the steaks with a cut garlic clove before flouring for a better result with the meat. Salt extracts moisture from the meat and makes it tough. Since I don't care for rice in my stocks, I will substitute real chicken stock (or cheat with Bovril sachets). Also, Campbell's is heavy on salt! (Watch that sodium intake). Anyway, good. And simple too. Vary by using 1 cup white dry wine in place of 1 cup of water.
