How to Make Baked Pizza Steak
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Dip cube steaks (or chicken breasts) into the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add cube steaks (or chicken breasts) to the hot skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-6 minutes per side.
- Transfer the browned steaks to a 3-quart baking dish.
- Top with 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup sliced onions.
- Spoon 1 (24 ounce) jar of your favorite pizza sauce evenly over the steaks and vegetables.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Continue baking uncovered until the steaks are fork-tender and the sauce has thickened, about another 30 minutes. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Serve immediately with your favorite pasta and salad.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
