How to Make Cube Steaks Parmigiana

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly spray a 13x9x2-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs with 2 tablespoons of water.
  5. In a third shallow dish, combine 2 cups crushed crackers, 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon dried basil. Mix well.
  6. Dredge each cube steak (about 1 pound total) in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly in the cracker mixture. Gently press the coating to adhere.
  7. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the coated steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  8. Arrange the browned steaks in the prepared baking dish.
  9. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups your favorite tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  10. Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the steaks.
  11. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
  12. Top each steak with a generous slice of fresh mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup total) and sprinkle with 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano.
  13. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  14. Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes like fettuccine Alfredo, a green salad, and garlic bread.
