Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cube steaks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the cube steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and water. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each cube steak in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, and finally coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the breaded cube steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary.
Once all the cube steaks are seared, remove the skillet from the heat.
Pour marinara sauce over the cube steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the steaks.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm with a side of pasta, garlic bread, or a fresh green salad.
