Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 medium eggs
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup finely crushed saltine (about 10 crackers)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
4 beef cube steaks (1 pound)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups tomato sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar, to taste
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
1/2 teaspoon additional dried basil
1 teaspoon minced roasted garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste
4 slices mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup additional freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F; pan spray a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
  • In a large shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.
  • Crack the eggs into a small bowl, add the water, and beat well; pour into shallow dish.
  • In another bowl, combine the crushed crackers, 1/3 cup grated Parmesan, and 1/2 teaspoon basil; stir well, then pour into shallow dish.
  • Dredge each steak in the flour mixture, coating well, then in the eggs, then in the cracker mixture, gently patting the coating onto the meat.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, add the oil, and saute the coated steaks until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Place the browned steaks in the sprayed baking dish and bake uncovered at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes (leave the oven on when done).
  • In a bowl combine the tomato sauce, brown sugar, onion, half of the oregano, remaining basil, and garlic.
  • Spoon tomato mixture over the steaks and return them to the oven to bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Top each steak with a generous slice of mozzarella, sprinkle with the freshly grated (shredded is good, too) Parmesan, and sprinkle with the remaining oregano.
  • Bake for about 3 minuntes until cheese are melted to your preference.
  • Serve with lightly buttered fettuccini or fettuccini Alfredo, a nice green salad, and garlic bread.
