I used bottom round and next time I think I'll try a little less tough meat, but it was still very, very good. Nice and crispy. As always, great job Alton!

I've made this recipe several times, and keep making modifications to our family's taste (as everyone should do.... It keeps getting better.

When I first made it as per the recipe, I found I needed to add quite a bit of extra pepper to the gravy to get it to where I liked it.

Later modifications, I used cube steak which I salted & peppered, and added creole seasoning to the dredging flour. Much better, with a generous peppering of the gravy still.

Most recent modification: Due to some family diet issues, I made this dairy-free and gluten-free. I used garbanzo bean flour as the dredging flour, and made the gravy with homemade chicken stock which I know is gluten-free and almond milk. Still delicious!

That is the best chicken fried steak recipe i have tried. It is so simple and the touch of thyme in the gravy makes it soooooo good. Just amazing.

The way I was taught--1/2" thick slices of top round. The meat was tenderized by beating flour, salt, and pepper into the meat with a mallet (in actuality the edge of a stoneware or china plate until doubled in size and halved in thickness. Then dip in water and dredge in half flour--half fine ground cracker meal. The gravy was extended using the brown gravy method which uses heinz ketchup browned in butter to release the vinegar and darken the tomato to a rich brown. Further extension involved carmelizing onion--or french's onion soup mix and boullion. "Swiss Steak" was made exactly the same save after searing the breaded and pounded steaks, they were then put into dutch oven with gravy, mushrooms, celery, carrots and onions and served over mountains of real mashed potatoes.

Easy to make. It was hard for me to cook chicken fried steak. Getting the steak cooked enough in the center without burning the outside. Using the rack in the oven made perfect steak. My husband told me this is better than any restaurant chicken friend steak.

This was very nice. I enjoyed it, but being from Texas and growing up on chicken fried steak, I'm pretty particular about it. It's very tasty, and if you didn't grow up eating chicken fried steak, you'll probably love this recipe. For me, it's not quite right.

My search is over for the best chicken fried steak recipe. I add some onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne to the flour mixture. Whatever is left over I add to season the gravy. This recipe is awesome.
