This is a terrific recipe for kicking up a country fried steak. I loved the taste of the salad dressing spices and the buttermilk made wonderful crust. You're right that it's messy, but nothing ventured; nothing gained, right?? Love you, Sandra Lee

I watched this program this morning, and although I haven't made the steaks, after reading the other reviews, my comment is in regard to the gravy. Williams, Pioneer, and McCormick brands all have very good dry Country Gravy mixes. I have been making them for years using equal portions of fat free half-n-half and water for the liquid, BUT it never occured to me to use chicken broth in place of the water - I will be giving that a try. If you're having trouble with the gravy, give one of these brands a try... you will be very pleasantly surprised!

The gravy was greenish color and tasted awful

Goodness, the gravy was probably the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted in my 67 years on this earth.

I thought this would be a lot of work but it wasn't. It just took a few minutes and tasted like I'd spent all day. I will make it again!

My whole family thought this was truly dreadful chicken fried steak. The gravy especially.

I had seen this recipe on my daughter-in-law's refrigerator and thought it looked like a recipe we would love. The crust had trouble staying on - started in a pan on the stove and had to cook the rest on an electric skillet, with better results. A lot of trouble for a disappointing end. I mentioned it to my daughter-in-law and she had had the same results.

If you are not used to frying things - this recipe can be a little difficult, but well worth the effort and the mess. I used plain ranch instead of garlic.

My husband and I are Texan's of over 40 years each and were both extremely surprised that this was the best chicken fried steak either of us had ever had. No kidding.
I was particularly wary of using packet gravy since it's so easy to just make cream gravy, but I tried it made with the buttermilk as suggested and it was great.

This was yummy. My whole family liked it. It was easier to put the flour mixture in a bowl and not a plastic bag. Also, 1 cup flour was not enough to coat the meat, but I had more than 1 pound. Two thumbs up Sandra!
