Are you tired of chicken fried steak? This recipe dresses up cubed steaks Italian-style with cheese, tomato sauce, basil and oregano. My husband and I like this main dish with a side of fettuccine Alfredo.Sarah Befort Hays, Kansas Ingredients:
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 eggs |
3 tablespoons water |
1/3 cup finely crushed saltines |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
4 beef cubed steaks (4 ounces each) |
3 tablespoons canola oil |
1-1/4 cups tomato sauce |
2-1/4 teaspoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, divided |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
4 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat eggs and water. Place cracker crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese and basil in a third bowl.
2. Coat steaks with flour mixture, then dip in egg mixture and coat with crumb mixture. In a large skillet, brown steaks in oil for 2-3 minutes on each side.
3. Arrange steaks in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 160°. Combine the tomato sauce, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon oregano and garlic powder; spoon over steaks. Bake 10 minutes longer.
