This is a keeper. The only thing I did was reduce the cayenne pepper and chili powder. A little messy to make. The family did like it, so I will make it again.

Guess I should've read the reviews, but I was in a rush. The breading really did not stick to the steak, I found the breading itself to be lacking some flavour as well. I appreciate the recipe but not sure if I'll try it again with the advice in the reviews..

great' i liked the flour egg dip.i think one should add the salt and pepper to the dredge flour, great gravy,will try again.

My husband compared this recipe to the taste of his grandmother's chicken fried steak-which is a GOOD thing! I added a little more chili pepper than listed on accident, buit it tasted great!

Made this last night and Mom & hubby loved it. I thought it was just okay but who can resist rave reviews. I followed others suggestions and skipped the cayenne and chili and dredged the meat in seasoned flour, egg and flour again. Even though I decreased the flour, the gravy was still thick as glue so keep a little liquid handy for thinning. I was out of potatoes but they loved the gravy over rice. Thx for submitting this one Gail.

I tried this a month ago, and never again. It was so messy to make and the steak didn't get cooked all the way thr. YUCK.............

Folks, I haven't tried this particular recipe, but repeatedly see that people have trouble with the breading falling off. I did too until I read that your heat is too high. You need to cook it lower and slower!

Not bad, but not exactly the "wow" taste I was looking for. Did not use the boullion in the gravy. Gravy was very thick.

This was WAY too salty. We even left out almost half the salt it called for. I would make the meat again (not the gravy) but not put more than a sprinkle of reg salt in with the flour. The cayanne pepper gave it the right kick. With a little tweaking (and without the salt!) this will be tons better.

Great steak, awful gravy! The gravy is so salty you can't taste anything else in the meal - it is more like taco seasoning. I love spicy dishes, but this tastes like cheap fast food.

I have always wanted to make Chicken Fried steak but this was my first attempt. The flavor was wonderful! My family loved it...but the breading fell off the steak, maybe I dried them off too much ... will definately experiement some more with this.

I have made this recipe twice now. The first time I followed the recipe as directed. The gravy had too much chili powder in it. The 2nd time I halved the chili powder. I still think the chili powder overpowered it. I should have thinned out the gravy w/ water or milk as suggested by another reviewer. Personally I prefer a white gravy on my chicken fried steak.

Delicious! Everyone loved it!

I have been making the steak part of this recipe for about 6 years and love the way the steak turns out. I add an extra egg to the egg mixture, but do everything else same. I've never had a problem with the breading falling off. I made the gravy for the first time last week and it was terrible. I am going to give it another try, but only put two teaspoons of salt in the flour mixture and reduce the chilli powder. I also didn't need all the left over flour for the gravy...It would be nice to have an exact measurement on the flour needed in case you don't make as many steaks. I think this will be awesome when i get it figured out!

i have never made this chicken fried steak before in my life, this recipe had it's hits and misses. i loved the extra flavor the cayanne added to the breading however the gravy was just too much working against the flavor of the steak. even cutting half of the chili powder out like other reviews suggested still didn't dull the chili powder flavor, it over powered the entire meal so much so that my son said that it was too spicey. next time i am anxious to keep the breading recipe but try the steak with a white gravy.

Secret - Use a cast iron pan for frying. This turned out excellent! I did not make this gravy however. I had 1-1/2 pounds of cube steak and 1/2'd the recipe. Though I did use a total of three eggs and I did put approx. 1/4 cup of flour in the eggs. I thought it worked perfectly. The batter was not too thick, but the crispy covering it made to the steaks was scrumdelicious. We all chowed down on this one. Mashed Potatoes and corn was perfect. And some garlic cheese biscuits! Heavenly.
