How to Make Cube Steak Florentine

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 13x9x2 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine 10 oz (280g) fresh spinach (chopped), 1 cup French fried onions, 1.5 cups (150g) shredded Colby Jack cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
Spread approximately 1/2 teaspoon of mustard on each cube steak.
Top each cube steak with an even layer of the spinach mixture, pressing gently to flatten.
Roll up each cube steak tightly, jelly-roll style, and set aside.
Spread the remaining spinach mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Place the rolled cube steaks on top of the spinach mixture in the pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
Pour the oil mixture evenly over the cube steaks.
Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil.
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cube steaks are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
