Ingredients
The following ingredients have 5 Servings
- 4 to 6 cube steaks
- 2 tablespoons bacon fat or cooking oil
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), to taste, optional
- 1-1/2 cups marinara or pizza sauce
- 4 to 6 thin slices mozzarella or equivalent shredded
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat the bacon fat or oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over a heat that is just over medium to medium high.
- Meanwhile, prepare three shallow dishes. In the first, combine the flour, salt and pepper. In the second, beat together the milk and egg. In the third, combine the bread crumbs with the Parmesan cheese, Cajun seasoning, parsley and pepper flakes.
- Dip the cube steaks into the flour mixture, then the milk and egg mixture and finally dredge in the bread crumbs.
- Brown in the hot oil over medium heat for about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a baking dish.
- Pour sauce evenly over the tops of the cube steaks and cover pan tightly.
- Bake for 55 minutes, remove, uncover, add mozzarella to each patty, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Return to oven, uncovered, just long enough to melt cheese.
- Serve as is with side dishes, or place patties over cooked spaghetti.
