Country Fried Steak Recipe

This recipe had great flavor and was easy to make. I recommend cooking it on medium heat rather than medium high; the first one I cooked ended up a little burnt. Turning the heat down made them perfect.

It’s a good thing this isn’t easier to make because I would probably eat it every week! I had NEVER made country fried steak before so I figured I’d give it a shot. I really like the seasoning in the flour mix. However, I had to make mine gluten free. So, for anyone wondering, you can make this GF by using all purpose GF flour instead of regular flour, as well as 4 oz of GF bread crumbs, panko, or do like I did and crush up some GF salted crackers of your liking. I will admit I grabbed a recipe for a gravy from another fried steak recipe on here. But that was basically using the drippings from the pan after frying the steak, and then adding some onion, milk, salt and pepper, and corn starch for thickening. But the drippings in the pan from THIS recipe is what made the sauce so good. All in all this was delicious! Well done!

I seasoned the meat with the meat seasoning, added the rest to the flour mixture, I double dipped because I like a thick crust, and a tip for it staying crispy till everyone finishes their steak is to let the battered steaks sit about 15 minutes before frying. And for a healthy version, fry it in coconut oil!!! Less guilt and you cant tell the difference, it handles high heat nicely!

Don't hate me, but I didn't exactly follow the recipe. :) I had leftover "Hugh's Dry Rub" & it's similar to the ingredients listed so I used that adding a little dill (1/4t dill, 2 12T rub). I had more cubed steak than listed so put the spices directly on the meat. Then the flour/saltine combination. Then egg/milk. Then flour/saltine again. I had plenty of the coating. Didn't make extra. Everyone liked it, but it didn't wow me. The coating I'll definately make again - adding spices to it, or to both it & the meat. (Four ounces saltines is a sleeve, btw - provided you have a pound box). Allowing the meat to lose its coolness, helped the breading adhere to the steak & not stick to the pan (I think anyway). I cooked them over (gas) medium for about 5 minutes on each side. Once (& sorry if it grosses you out) the wet, pinkish color starts to come to the top of the steak, it's time to turn over. Using half butter & half olive oil is a yum combination for panfrying. Oh, made white gravy, too. Good idea.

Good base recipe! Agree with others to turn the temp down to medium. I had garlic/herb bread crumbs instead of crackers (a little lazy today =), also added 1/2 cup cornmeal. We like spice, so I added Slap Your MaMa seasoning - awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Delicious! My husband and I LOVED it. It's definitely a keeper. Can't wait to make it again! Used Ritz crackers instead of Saltines. Next time I'll cook it on medium heat instead of medium-high. Other then that I wouldn't change a thing.

This was really yummy. I didn't have saltines so I used Ritz crackers. Also added about 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Easy to make, nice texture and flavor. It's a keeper!

This was the very 1st time I'd ever made chicken fried steak.. it was so simple & yummy! My husband & I really enjoyed this. The only thing I changed was I omitted the seasoning salt (only bc I didn't have it) & used kosher salt, pepper, cayenne & Mrs Dash instead. I read some reviews about the breading falling off... dipping your steak in the flour mixture thoroughly b4 dipping it in the egg makes a huuuuuge difference. Very little fell off mine, but I'd made it so thick it didn't matter. Also, yes, that is definitely not enough oil. However, just a tablespoon or two more will suffice. Merry cooking! :):)

Everyone loved this, but I wish this recipe had the sauce for the steak on here. I used a couple of tablespoons of the flour mix to a couple tablespoons of the oil from the pan. Then slowly whisked in whole milk until thick and bubbly. This turned out very well.

It was delicious. Thank you for sharing, my family and I enjoyed this recipe very much. Only change I made was used 1/2 tsp of Cajun seasoning instead of the steak seasoning because I didn’t have any at the time. Oh and used ritz crackers but used measurements and all other ingredients as listed. Will make again.

I have made this dish a few times and it is a favorite for my family! Such good flavor. If you don't have saltines, use Ritz if you have them. I crushed 1/2 sleeve and cooked 4 steaks...it tasted amazing!!!!

I used club crackers instead of saltines and I think it would have better with saltines.

The flavor is unreal.

Very easy to make. Spices can be adjusted to your own taste. I made a mushroom gravy for mine and it was delicious.

perfect but had to turn heat down to medium with triple burner - and used ritz instead of saltines - but WOW big hit - we LOVED IT !!! A++++++++++

Very good Country Fried Steak. Did not change anything.

I adjusted the receipt for 6 servings with mashed potatoes and white gravy. Very good & portions were perfect sized, there weren't any leftovers.

My family and I really enjoyed this recipe. I substituted club crackers for saltines.

Made this as written and the only issue was they burned. Will be making these again but will turn the heat down to medium. Thank you very much, we loved this!

Excellent recipe
