This is the first Allrecipes recipe that I did not like. I followed the recipe, except only used 2 teaspoons of salt like other reviewers suggested. The breading did NOT stay on the steak. The gravy was very salty, even after cutting it down so much. The breading had very good flavor, so it is a shame that it wouldn't stay on the steak. My sons tried, but couldn't eat more than a few bites. My husband thought it was okay, but too salty. I won't be making this again.

First of all I used chicken breast instead of steak, I just pounded it out a little to be more healthy. I also used a mix of crushed saltine crackers and panko bread crumbs to bread it. This recipes is easy and simple to make. One of my favorite comfort foods! Thank you everyone at allrecipes.com for helping me become a better cook!

A first timer for Chicken Fried Steak but not to frying or gravy. Followed the recipe and found that it called for FAR too much flour for the gravy. The flour-then egg-then flour really helped the chicken fried steak and next time I will only brown some of the remaining flour before adding the milk/spice mixture for the gravy. After adding too much flour, I simply added a lot of water to make a nice gravy and will keep the rest for some leftover fried chicken that I have to eat tomorrow night.

I adjusted to serve 2. The prep of meat and frying ( used crisco) was very simple, crust stayed on and had a nice crispy texture. I did not care for the gravy, will keep looking for another one. I served with egg noodles and Sauteed Garlic Asparagus also fun this site.

Best chicken fried steak recipe I have ever made or tasted. Adding the flour to the egg wash made all the difference in the world. I did use blackened seasoning instead of cayenne pepper (didn't have on hand) plus some onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, & pepper to the flour. Excellent recipe, thanks!!!

Much better than other recipes I tried. I foolishly thought you needed to soak the steak in a batter to get a good coating. Live and learn! =)

I used this recipe as my FIRST attempt at Chicken Fried Steak. Overall, for my first time, it came out decent. I followed the suggestions and breaded with flour, egg & then flour again. I also took the suggestion of a reviewer and fried low and slow and my breading did well at staying on. The gravy had a bite to it. Hubby LOVED it. I had a hard time getting gravy to thicken, but I think that has more to do with my experience is making gravy, rather than the recipe. Overall, it's a good recipe. I have alot more to learn with the art of Chicken Fried Steak. Lucky for me, my hubby doesn't mind being my taste tester...haha!
