I thought this recipe was wonderful. I cooked the steak exactly to the minute and it wasn't overdone and it was very moist. The gravy was not setting up so I did have to add more cornstarch to it but the flavor was great. My husband loves chicken fried steak and he thought this actually tasted better than the ones he had in the restaurant. We will definitely use this recipe again.
This came out great. I did significantly up the spice both in the breading and gravy. I used smoked paprika cayenne pepper garlic and onion powder. I will definitely make again.
When I get a yearning for down home cooking this recipe fills the bill. I didn't have Half and Half on hand for the gravy so I substituted low-fat buttermilk - all the taste and texture less fat. Since I prefer chicken over beef I think next time I will sub chicken filets or tenders for the cube steak. This was a BIG hit with my husband.
I really enjoyed making this "chicken fried steak" it was almost as good as the real one but I did have to tweak the gravy as the instructions for that didn't quite make sense to me. Anyway it was pretty good.. I'll definetly be making this again:)
Great recipe! Must try it! This is a really tasty recipe and once you get the ingredients together it's pretty easy. Some reviewers said they had to add more cornstarch to thicken the gravy. This only happens if you don't cook the beef broth down to 1 cup. Very important step. Once you cook the broth down to one cup the cornstarch mixture will thicken it to make the gravy. Bonus that it's a healthy version!
This was my first attempt at making chicken fried steak and we really enjoyed it. Will definitely make again and will probably go heavier on the spices.
Well, this was a very pleasant surprise! My husband LOVES chicken fried steak but it is not exactly a health food in its usual form, and we are both trying to lose weight. This was actually the first time I tried making it, and we both thought it turned out really well. The gravy is outstanding for such a low fat gravy. I make my own beef stock and also am non dairy so used NutPods Original for the cream, and just yum. I also used gluten free flour for both the all purpose and whole wheat flour and it was just fine.
I used low-sodium beef broth and skim milk for the gravy and the kids still loved it! Pros: Quick and easy to prepare kid-friendly
I served it with turnip greens cooked in a bit of chicken broth & worchestershire sauce green beans and mashed faux-tatoes (cauliflower w/ cheese.) Family friendly! Will definitely serve this again!
