My 14 year old son actually made this mostly on his own. They were great. Loved the gravy.

I used pork cube steaks and it came out great...just a little bland will use seasoned salt next time

You know I thought for the most part this was really good. Hubby thought the meat was fatty but it could have just been from where I got it. One daughter thought too spicy and I may have to take out the red peppers for her and the younger one (for those with small kids eating this). One thing we all agreed on was too much salt. I thought about this after putting it all together and starting the gravy, "Salt the meat, salt the flour, put in saltine crackers, salt the gravy...." Some may want to skip a couple of those "saltings". Will I try this again? I may try another recipe and compare the two. If I can't find anything that looks good I may just pick this one back up and make some changes.

First fried steak recipe my husband has not banned from the household, and has even requested that it be made again. The kids even loved it.

This is the real deal. I used less oil, and it turned out great. The crust on the steaks was perfect, and the gravy divine. Thanks for sharing!

I love this recipe. I didn't crush the crackers fine enough the first time and it made the coating too thick in places. On all subsequent uses, I've crushed the crackers to a fine dust and it makes a beautiful, tasty layer of crust. The cooking instructions are perfectly stated as well so don't hesitate to try it as written. I don't eat gravy so I can't attest to that part of the recipe so my rating is strictly for the steak itself.

This was delicious, not fussy recipe at all, I added garlic powder to the white sauce for more flavor. Excellent overall!

I've been making this recipe for years, and this is hands down my favorite chicken fried steak recipe. Just as good as Cracker Barrel's. I make a few adjustments. I cut everything in the gravy in half, except the flour. Comes out perfect. I also cut the egg mixture in half as it is too much and just goes to waste. I make all of the cracker mix and only put what I need out to bread the cube steaks. The rest goes in a ziploc bag for the next time. Also, I only pour enough oil in the fry pan to sufficiently fry the steak in. Easy to make, and authentic southern!

This is the BEST chicken fried steak recipe! I was going through my recipe box and couldn't believe that I forgot to review it, since we've been eating it regularly for about three years. I've had so many people ask me for this recipe. Putting the ready ones in the oven is a really good idea, since it crisps them up a little bit more, keeps them hot, and drains off some of the excess grease. I've noticed they are a bit soggy if I skip this step.
