Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 Roma tomatoes - peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
4 cube steaks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon garlic salt
2 eggs
1 cup garlic-and-herb panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan and cook garlic until lightly golden brown and fragrant, about 1 minute. Carefully add tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, and pepper; stir to combine. Simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in basil. Stir to combine, taste, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Season cube steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Set 3 shallow dishes on the counter. Add flour and garlic salt to the first, beaten eggs to the second, and bread crumbs to the third. Season eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Coat each cube steak lightly with flour and tap off excess. Dip cube steak in beaten eggs, allowing excess egg to drip off before turning cube steak in bread crumbs. Press bread crumbs into the cube steak to make sure they adhere. Transfer breaded cube steak to a wire rack-lined baking sheet. Continue this process until all cube steaks are coated.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Place cube steak gently into the skillet and cook on the first side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over carefully and cook on the second side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Return to the baking sheet to drain.
  • Set an oven rack about 8 to 10 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Transfer cube steaks to the lined baking sheet and place the sliced mozzarella cheese evenly on top. Broil until mozzarella has melted and begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Spoon the tomato sauce over each cube steak before serving.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 medium eggs
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup finely crushed saltine (about 10 crackers)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
4 beef cube steaks (1 pound)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups tomato sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar, to taste
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
1/2 teaspoon additional dried basil
1 teaspoon minced roasted garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste
4 slices mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup additional freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F; pan spray a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
  • In a large shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.
  • Crack the eggs into a small bowl, add the water, and beat well; pour into shallow dish.
  • In another bowl, combine the crushed crackers, 1/3 cup grated Parmesan, and 1/2 teaspoon basil; stir well, then pour into shallow dish.
  • Dredge each steak in the flour mixture, coating well, then in the eggs, then in the cracker mixture, gently patting the coating onto the meat.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, add the oil, and saute the coated steaks until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Place the browned steaks in the sprayed baking dish and bake uncovered at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes (leave the oven on when done).
  • In a bowl combine the tomato sauce, brown sugar, onion, half of the oregano, remaining basil, and garlic.
  • Spoon tomato mixture over the steaks and return them to the oven to bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Top each steak with a generous slice of mozzarella, sprinkle with the freshly grated (shredded is good, too) Parmesan, and sprinkle with the remaining oregano.
  • Bake for about 3 minuntes until cheese are melted to your preference.
  • Serve with lightly buttered fettuccini or fettuccini Alfredo, a nice green salad, and garlic bread.

Tips:

  • To tenderize the cube steaks, use a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet to pound them until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Season the cube steaks with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning before dredging them in flour.
  • Use a shallow dish for dredging the cube steaks in flour so that they are evenly coated.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat before adding the cube steaks. This will help to prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the cube steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • To make the marinara sauce, simply combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • To assemble the cube steaks parmigiana, place a cube steak on a plate and top it with a slice of mozzarella cheese, a spoonful of marinara sauce, and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the cube steaks parmigiana in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Cube steaks parmigiana is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tenderized cube steaks are coated in flour and then fried until golden brown. They are then topped with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese and baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with a side of spaghetti or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
