Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 1/2 inch thick each) cube steaks
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 28 ounces (1 can) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoons (optional) red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cups, grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cups, shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each cube steak in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the cube steaks on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, and stir in the oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Return the browned cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the steaks to coat them. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for 25 minutes, or until the cube steaks are tender.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the steaks, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover again and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (if desired) and serve hot. Pair with cooked pasta, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
