Country-Fried Steaks image

This down-home recipe reminds me of my mother, who was raised in the South. It calls for cube steak instead of round steak, so there's no need to pound the meat. I just dip and coat the beef, then cook it in my cast-iron skillet. -Bonnie Malloy, Norwood, Pennsylvania

I've tried many country fried steak recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The steaks are always crispy and flavorful, and the gravy is to die for.

I tried this recipe for the first time last night and it was a disaster. The steaks were tough and the gravy was lumpy.

These steaks were so good! I couldn't believe how easy they were to make.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of breading. I found that the flour breading made the steaks a little too dry.

I followed the recipe exactly and the steaks turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
