Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Cube steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium (sliced thinly) Yellow onion
- 1 large (sliced into strips) Red bell pepper
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
- 8 leaves (chopped roughly) Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup (grated, for garnish) Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Season both sides of the cube steaks with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Sear the cube steaks for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the thinly sliced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the BBQ sauce and crushed tomatoes, combining well with the sautéed veggies.
Add the partially cooked cube steaks back to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the cube steaks are fully cooked and tender.
Stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Serve the Italian BBQ cube steaks hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
