My kids love steak and anything with tomato sauce. This Italian-inspired dish that I make in my Connecticut home is easy to fix and great for reheating later, such as when you're helping out a friend with a home-cooked dinner or contributing to a potluck meal, a New England tradition that began with the colonists.
Ingredients
½ cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
6 4-ounce cube steaks
pepper to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 cups hot prepared marinara sauce
Directions
- In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs and the cheese; set aside. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon water.
- Lightly season the steaks with pepper (may not be necessary depending on your tastes and how seasoned your bread crumbs are). Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan.
- Dip the steaks into the eggs and then into the bread crumb mixture, dredging through the crumbs well.
- Fry in hot oil over medium heat about four minutes on each side or until cooked through. Serve hot with ⅓ cup marinara sauce poured over each steak.
Cooking Tip
