3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup finely crushed saltines
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
6 (4 ounce) cube steaks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
SAUCE:
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
3 slices mozzarella cheese, halved
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1. In three shallow bowls, combine flour, salt and pepper; beat egg and water; and combine Parmesan cheese, saltines and basil. Dip steaks in flour mixture and egg mixture, then roll in cheese mixture.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Brown three steaks on both sides. Remove to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Repeat with the remaining steaks, adding additional oil as needed. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes. Drain any pan juices.
3. Combine the tomato sauce, sugar, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of oregano; pour over steaks. Bake 20 minutes longer. Place mozzarella cheese on steaks. Sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining oregano. Return to the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
