Country Fried Steak

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.

This was terrific! Great taste, not bland in any way. I used McCormick hamburger seasoning instead of Montreal Steak seasoning and ground sirloin. I topped this with peppered gravy and we had such a great meal that hubby and I even split the last (second) piece. We usually don't eat seconds for diet conscious reasons but this was so delicious we both just couldn't resist a little more. Thanks, this is the best recipe!!!

This was sooo good. Thank you so much for this easy tasty recipe! p.s. I used ritz crackers instead of saltines and they turned out fantastic!

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.

We don't buy meet from a retail store, we buy a half of cow and pig at a time, this was soooo tender and the next day I took some to work for lunch and reheated in the microwave and it was just as good

Made some sub. to the recipe, but followed it for the most part and it was so good..

This was my first attempt at country fried steak. My kitchen smelled sooo good. I really like this recipe, I'll be using this one again.

This was my second time making country fried steak and this recipe was by far the best. I cooked mine a little longer to give it that really crunchy texture and I added extra Montreal seasoning. This tasted so good throughgout the entire steak you could taste the seasonings so it did not taste bland at all. We will keep this recipe for sure.

This was a easy and quick recipe. At first it looked a little bland to me and I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out... but I live in a house with 3 men..all thumbs up. I added worcestershire sauce for alittle spice.

This restaurant quality...and so easy too! All I had on hand were Ritz Crackers, but they worked out just as well.

I'd never attempted to make country fried steak before so this was my first one. I've also never used saltines as a breading so I was very curious to try. It was sooo good! My husband and stepson loved it too. I didn't change anything about the recipe and I really think this was the best cfs I've ever had! Thank you for your recipe!

I was very impressed! It was simple to make and tasted great, my family enjoyed it.

Of all the country fried steak recipes I've ever made, this is by far the best one, but I'm not impressed enough to make it again (my hubs agrees). For all the spice called for, I found my steaks to be terribly bland. And, as with most recipes that call for a crushed cracker coating, I found it nearly impossible for any of it to adhere to my meat. I think more of the cracker bits ended up in my skillet than on the cube steaks themselves.... I have one more comment to add. Two tablespoons of oil is not nearly enough to saute with, let alone fry with. I had to add WAY more oil than called for to brown only two steaks. Of course, the suggested heat setting didn't help either (I fried my steaks on medium heat because they were burning on the suggested medium-high temperature). Served with mom's country gravy (Nancy Smith), corn, mashed potatoes and biscuits, this was a filling but disappointingly mediocre meal. Thanks anyways, Laura. :-)

I recieved good reviews for this and it is soooo easy and fast. Perfect!

that was a great crust recipe only thing i added was black pepper about the same amount as the other seasonings :) and instead of steak i used boneless chicken breasts. will continue to use this recipe. thnx family love it!

Very easy, good flavor. I used it on moose steaks, it turned out great.

My husband enjoyed this meal! I served it with white country gravy and mashed potatoes.

Great recipe!!! My husband and I LOVED it. No changes needed! Better than a resturant.

This was my first time making country fried steak and it turned out soooooo good! My husband couldn't get enough! I will be making this again for sure!!

This was by far the best country fried steak recipe out there. The crust stayed on and it was crispy. I will be making this recipe again.

This was very, very good. Go light on the salt until you taste it. The only change I made was to use deer steaks pounded out thin. It was so tender and so good with milk gravy and garlic mashed potatoes. I'm sure the whole family will love this.

Really good. Simple to make.

These were pretty bland. I think next time I'll add way more seasoning to the meat, and breading. But otherwise good.

I loved this recipe! Always had a hard time getting my cube steak crispy but this made it come out perfect!

This recipe is easy to make, but breading did not stick well.

I made this for my family last night and we all loved it, we recently moved to Hawaii and restaurants don't serve country fried steak, I've been missing it. This was wonderful and easy. Thanks

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.

Today was the first time I had made fried steak. 4 minutes was too long on each side. After the 1st steak, I cooked them closer to 3 minutes. The egg and milk mixture wasn't quite enough for all 4 steaks. They may have been larger than the recipe called for. I also used Chicago steak seasoning b/c it was what I had. However, they came out pretty well and I will definitely use this recipe again.

my husband just loved it i just added a teaspoon and a half of paprka. jus perfect. What I did do, is I left the flour mixture next to the fryer and just put it back in the flour before frying. OOOh Laaaa Laaa. came out perfecto. then let it drain and keep on warm till ready to sell

Tasted great! Served it with the recipe Mom's Country Gravy.

I was faithful to the recipe, but these came out spongy and hard to cut (or eat.) Wasn't tender or crispy at all.

These were fantastic! I cut up the cube steaks and turned them into steak fingers for the kids and let them dunk into the gravy... HUGE HIT!!

This was excellent. I haven't made Chicken Fried Steak in a long while but it was great. The flavor was wonderful. I did use ritz crackers instead of saltines. I think thats what did it. Will definently make this again. Served with mashed potatoes and gravy of course. The family loved it!!! Even my twin 3 year old boys.

I love this recipe it is so easy and turns out everytime and is a favortie in our house. I also substituted saltines for ritz.

Loved it! Made it for husband for his birthday... even my picky 10 year old liked it! It's gonna become a family favorite!!! :)

This recipe was great. I added extra seasoning though. When making this recipe make sure you press the steak very hard into the breading. This way it wont fall off when your are eating it. I deep fried this instead of pan frying. It took about 7 min. for two steaks. It turned out great and had a lot of flavor!

Didn't really taste like country fried steak

Very easy recipe to follow. I followed all directions. My only complaint was that it was a bit on the salty side. I will use low sodium crackers next time.

Yum. My husband couldn't get enough.

Amazing!!!!! Perfect the way it is!!!! Thank you so much! Also made a version of Country Fried Chicken... my only change was from Montreal Steak Seasoning to Montreal Chicken Seasoning. Brilliant recipe! Enjoy!

Amazing! Made everything to instruction beside the mon. Steak seasoning I used the spicy mon steak seasoning for extra zing!

I didn't like the way this turned out. Very disapointed.

I followed the recipe as written. Good flavor in the coating for the steaks. Would recommend following recipe as written without making changes.

So good! My wife said it was one of her favorite meals I have EVER made!

This is wonderful. My husband and I prefer McCormick Country Gravy on top. Followed this recipe exactly except used egg beaters instead of egg and milk. Make sure to press the coating on like it says. Turned out wonderful. Husband said it was like restaurant quality!

Mine didn't turn out the way I'm guessing it is supposed to.

This was my first attempt at country fried steak and it turned out pretty well. I had a hard time getting the coating to stick to the cube steak, however.

My mom and I made this together for dinner and it was absolutely amazing. I loved it and so did the family. We didn't attempt a gravy though, still superb.

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!

The crackers were a great addition rather than just plain flour. I crunched them to about dime sized pieces and afraid they were going to be too big. But to my surprise, they really helped to add a crunch to the steaks that I have been wanting. Loved the seasoning. I punded the steaks again before dredging them, and I think it really helped for them to be so tender. Thoroughly loved!

Awesome and easy recipe. I never knew how easy it was to make country fried steak until I cooked it this evening! I can't cook well, YET, but this tasted so great.

These are so good...can't wait to make/eat them again.

I make this every time now!

They were good, but not mind-blowing.

I have made this several times and my husband is nuts about it. I make white gravy and mashed potatoes to go with it and it is always a hit. I have never used the Montreal steak seasoning though, I used regular Mrs. Dash.

My cube steaks were 'pre seasoned' when purchased, which I think is why they seemed salty. Followed the recipe exact and made a nice crunch on the outside and were very tender. Keeper!

Followed this recipe and it came out perfect! Wonderfully flavored cube steak.

I have been cook chicken fried steak for the last 6 yrs at least. I gotta say, I decided to try a new recipe. This is the best ever!

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!

i didnt get to use the crackers, because we were out, so i dont know if thats the reasong me crust didnt stick like it should, but it was still GOOD!!! my husband LOVE it. and he says i cant cook! LOL

Instead of crackers I used Italian bread crumbs...delicous!

Yum! My husband and 5 y.o. loved this. I'm not one for country style grav, but I really enjoyed this. Thanks.

I used steak, omitted the crackers and seasoning salt. The whole family loved it. I made my own gravy and mashed potatoes. I did have to add additional oil for frying.

Didn't really taste like country fried steak

This was such an easy recipe. It was so good. My husband said may have been the best chicken fried steak he ever had! Nailed it! Thank you for this super simple yet extremely delicious recipe!!!

This was the best I have made! It would have been a 5 star but needed salt! This is after the season salt , saltines and I didn't have garlic powder so used garlic salt I did cut back a little in that thinking it would be to much salt. I also used dried minced onion instead if powder cause that's what I had. And only had Chicken Montreal seasoning so used that. Fried up nice and crispy and served ii with whipped potatoes and white milk gravy. YUMMY!! Use enough oil to fry add extra as needed :)

My husband is from the south and grew up with this kind of meal - he said it was the best thing I have ever made for him! I took the advice of someone on here to use Ritz crackers instead and it worked out perfectly. The times on here for cooking are right on and it turned out soooooo good! Love it and definitely recommend it!

My husband and my daughter loved this recipe.

Not bad, had never made it before def season next time which I forgot. But wasn't chewy. And pre heat your pan. I cast iron which I love. Made eggs and pancakes with it.

Good

Absolutely delicious! My go to recipe every time.

I was leery of the steak seasoning, but I used it anyway. The seasonings were perfect. The only change I made was using panko instead of cracker crumbs just cuz I didn't have any. Panko works just as well.

The flavor was great but unfortunately the "crust" fell off of the steak quite easily while slicing.

It was great , I just didn't add salt. but very juicey

Quick and easy. Very tasty as well. Will definitely make it again and again.

this recipe was a hit with my family! it was the first country type recipe that has ever worked out for me and the seasonings totally played well in the steak. served it with country gravy.

Very good Country Fried Steak. Did not change anything.

It sticks to my ribs like super glue!

My family really liked it, I just added a little more heat to the spices because my family likes it that way.

This tasted fine for 2 of us and the other 2 didn't care for it because it wasn't tasty enough for them. Thank you for the recipe.

Very good country fried steak recipe - excellent taste!

These were ok and were very edible but they lacked flavor.

Good recipe and easy to make!!! Thank you!

I had two black angus round steaks that were very tasty and tender. I tried to use the grill but it was too windy to lit it. I looked up this recipe and just cut it down a little and it was very good. I didn't do it, but a touch of cayenne would probably be a nice addition.

Very good! I will make this again!

This is so yummy! My husband and my little boys gobbled it up!!!

The flavor was great but unfortunately the "crust" fell off of the steak quite easily while slicing.

Used hamburger mixed with A1, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, seasoning salt, garlic powder, pepper and paprika, then form to patties to continue with recipe.

Great change! I usually make cubed steaks the same way so this was a delicious change

Great recipe! No substitutions needed!

It was good. I really liked the crackers. Haven't made it like that before.

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

Loved it! Absolutely Wonderful!

WOW! This is the best country fried steak! My husband loved it so much. I actually used round steak so it was thicker but it still tasted so delicious. I tossed the flour and other ingredients in a plastic bag and I also used corn oil instead of canola. Crust was very flavorful. It was very quick and easy. I'm going to make these for the parent in laws for breakfast, they will be so impressed!

I made this the other night for the first time. My husband couldn't get enough of it!! By his standards, it was the best dinner he had ever had! I will definatly be making this again. Thank you for posting this recipe!

I did cook it a little bit longer, as I don't care for pink meat at all. Didn't change anything else. Turned out quite good.

Great flavor! I used the leftover flour and cracker mix to make my gravy. Yum!

Very good. I've tried a few country fried steak recipes that just didn't turn out that great. This one will be my go to recipe!

I didn't have any steak seasoning and used italian breadcrumbs instead of crackers.
