I made this for dinner tonight, and it was AWESOME! The coating on the steaks had wonderful flavor, and crisped up perfectly! I used fresh turkey cube steaks that I get from my local farmers market, and we didn't miss the beef at all. Other then stirring a little hot sauce into the gravy at the end, I followed the recipe as written. Served with mashed potatoes and applesauce, this is a new fave! Thank you for this great addition to my favorites file!

I have made Chicken Fried Steak for years and am always looking for the ultimate coating. I think I have found it in this recipe! I, sadly, didn't have all the ingredients, no buttermilk or hot sauce, but used whole milk and it worked just fine. Crisped up perfectly. My family raved that it is the best I have ever made and it was "almost as good as Cracker Barrel's." Hopefully with all the ingredients, it will surpass it next time. =)

This was very good tasting all though i'm not sure if the cast iron skillet is a necessity as i cooked the steaks a lot longer in my conventional skillet...was quite a messy affair but was very yummy! Although i needed a lot more flour then the recipe called for as with the "double dipping" created a lot of clumped up flour that made sticking to the steak difficult, as the flour stuck to my fingers/forks alot. Not sure what to do to make that better...maybe freezing the steaks after dipping? But the recipe resulted in the taste i was looking for! Thanks!

My middle son loves chicken fried steak and so do I. He came back for seconds with this recipe. I had to change it a little. Because I'm in the Denver area, frying can be a problem - things get overdone on the outside while undercooked inside. So as soon as the outsides were done, I put them in the oven like shake-and-bake for about 1/2 hour. Also, IMHO, a touch of garlic immensely improves country gravy, so I added garlic powder to the gravy. I also couldn't find uncultured buttermilk, but regular milk worked fine.

Truly the best chicken fried steak I've ever eaten. Chicken fried steak has always been a diner favorite of mine, but never cooked it at home. Followed the recipe exactly and was rewarded with a crispy, non-greasy, delicious coating on our cube steaks. I served it with collard greens and "irish champ" , an allrecipes recipe. Both my boyfriend and I loved it and will certainly serve it again. Thanks smylpurty!

This recipe was great. I will use it from now on. I added more seasonings to the buttermilk mixture because we like more flavor. I used the rest of the buttermilk to make buscuits from this site. Thanks!!

I did not care for this recipe. My children tried it and they would not eat more than the required bite. Sorry.

I gave this a 4-Star rating because of the use of the cube steak..and the ingredients..I read the other Chicken Fried Steak-recipes and thought that they were not as good(looking)..I tried to make this recipe from just hearing its title-name/and mine came out quite weird looking/will try this recipe..thanks.

This was a FLOP!! It made my meat want to fall apart that I could barely get it turned over to the other side for it to cook. I think I will stick to just making my cubed steak with just breaded flour!
