Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 1/2 inch thick each) cube steaks
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 28 ounces (1 can) crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.25 teaspoons (optional) red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cups, grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cups, shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each cube steak in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the cube steaks on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the crushed tomatoes, and stir in the oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 5

Return the browned cube steaks to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the steaks to coat them. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for 25 minutes, or until the cube steaks are tender.

Step 6

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the steaks, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover again and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese has melted.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (if desired) and serve hot. Pair with cooked pasta, rice, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
