My husband loved this cfs. He loves cfs and said this was super crunchy and the steak was very moist. I did add season salt and garlic salt with pepper before breading it, i also added a bit of salt and pepper to the flour, i wanted to make sure all layers were seasoned. I made my own sausage gravy to go on top and it was perfect! Definitely a keeper.

I have made these a few times now (even with chicken breasts) and they turn out great everytime. Wouldn't change a thing.

Wow, what a great recipe norah! Thank you so much for posting. I followed it except for just a couple things. I cut the recipe in 1/2 and it made plenty for 3 healthy servings. I didn't use fresh garlic, instead adding some garlic powder. I also added about 1 tsp of beef base to the gravy and it put it over the top! I like making the batter with all the seasonings in it and then just the plain flour. The flavor was fabulous, the texture perfect and I'll be making this inexpensive dinner again very soon!

I would give the Steak 5 stars and the gravy 2 stars so I settled with 4 since the main dish is the steak. The gravy was just SO greasy as written. It tasted just like shortening. Once I poured over half of it out and started with that as my base adding milk and beef broth, it was great. There is no need for that much grease. On the other hand, I am NOT a fan of chicken fried steak, but this was really good. I had some meat to use up and I will probably go back to this recipe in the future. Thanks again!

Very good as is. I used canola oil since it was what I had. I used a small skillet filled it about a quarter inch in oil and important that the oil get hot. Fried one at a time 5 min per side. The crust was well browned and crispy. Next time I will add much more spices along with paprika more pepper and garlic. Season the meat before flouring. Thanks Norah.

Very easy to make...went by recipe to exact. I think the gravy could have used a little something more...seemed a little bland. steak was very tender though.

This didn't turn out as well as I would have liked. Chicken Fried Steak is one of my favorite dishes when we eat out. I was hoping to make this dish at home and eat out less, but I don't think that will be the case. Judging from the hundreds of favoritable reviews his recipe has received I believe the fault must lie with me. However, I question the 4cups of milk required to make the gravey this recipe calls for. My gravey turned out to be more soup than gravey. Is 4 cups and 1/4 cup of flour the correct amounts? Or am I just doomed to never to learn how to make gravey?
