    I love this recipe, it's fantastic for what it is. My hubby used to order this at restaurants, but now doesn't because he can get it better at home - a win! I serve with Bob Evans original mashed potatoes (often found near the deli or the lunch meat), white shoe-peg corn, and white country style gravy. I do not use any extra oil - it does great as written.

    I made this recipe tonight for my family, with my sister visiting. We all thought it was fantastic. The only change I made to the recipe was to add 6 tsps of canola oil, 1 tsp per serving. We will definitely make this again!

    Very good but used olive oil to fry otherwise too dry. I also used 3 regular eggs and more crackers than recipe called for although I made 7 steaks instead of 6. The cream gravy was awesome and so easy to make. The only change I made was to use half & half instead of milk because it was all I had in the frig. Also needed to add alittle water to thin. Will definitely make again!

    Very good. We didn't have crackers so we just used salt/pepper, dipped in egg, rolled in flour. Just like another cook, I put some oil in the pan so it browned. Also, for the gravy, I did just milk and flour in the same pan as the steak was cooked.

    Good, solid recipe 10/04/10
