Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cube steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the cube steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, whisk the eggs and water together in a second dish, and spread the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
Dredge each piece of cube steak in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and lastly coat it in the breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the steak to ensure an even coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary, and do not overcrowd the skillet.
Transfer the browned steaks to a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce evenly over each piece, covering the top.
Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the marinara sauce on each steak, distributing the cheese evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the steaks are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with pasta, garlic bread, or a side salad for a complete meal.
