used Ritz instead of saltines- burned easily, don't know if that was the cause...also use sawmill instead of mushroom soup

The flavor of this was awesome. I have never made country fried steak before so I ended up losing the breading in the pan, but I think that was a rookie mistake, probably had a lot to do with the saltines not being small enough. I just scraped it out before I made the gravy and put it on top of the steaks. I used the milk I'd put the steaks in as the milk for the gravy since I was mixing it up in a hot pan. I made it with the Dilly Mashed Potatoes (minus the dill) and the gravy on everything was just delicious!

this was my first time ever making country fried steak so i was nervous it wouldnt come out right, because i like a lot of seasoning i add a little bit of cavenders greek seasoning to the flour salt and pepper and it tasted great, i also added a little flour to the cream of mushroom soup and buttermilk gravy and it added a great texture to it. needless to say it was a huge hit in my house.

As Don_OH indicates...use the buttermilk for the dredging. Dry bread crumbs would be interchangeable with cracker crumbs. And I think it is obviously 4 lbs. TOTAL cube steak (which would make 1 lb. each).

Fabulous! I love the saltine crumb coating, it makes for a light and flaky crust. I made my own white gravy but everything else was awesome!! Boyfriend loved it..

This recipe is really good and inexpensive too. I usually don't like chicken fried steak, but I did like this. One suggestion though: dry the meat using paper towels before you bread it, or the breading falls off! We will keep this recipe in our normal rotation.

Great recipe. My 5 yr old helpped me make it. I was confused where to use the milk and the buttermilk. So I used the buttermilk in the gravy. We served with Penne noodles and frozen peas and carrots for color. My son recommended we take the leftovers to a friend to share
