Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Cube steak
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium (sliced thinly) Yellow onion
• 1 large (sliced into strips) Red bell pepper
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes

• 0.25 cup (grated, for garnish) Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the cube steaks with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Sear the cube steaks for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Add the thinly sliced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 6

Stir in the BBQ sauce and crushed tomatoes, combining well with the sautéed veggies.

Step 7

Add the partially cooked cube steaks back to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the cube steaks are fully cooked and tender.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Step 10

Serve the Italian BBQ cube steaks hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
