Italian Steak with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
It is unusual for us to be drawn to this mix of flavors, but it works well. The roasted red pepper gives it a unique flavor and complements the beef perfectly. You will be pleasantly surprised.
Equipment
- Large frying pan
- 2 Shallow dishes
Ingredients
- 2 4 oz. Cube steaks
- 1 Roasted Red Bell Pepper
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp Belgioioso parmesan snacking cheese, grated, divided
- 1/4 Cup Seasoned bread crumbs
- 2-3 tsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Granulated onion
- 1 tsp Minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp Granulated garlic
- 1/2 tsp Dried basil
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 1/8 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Add the roasted pepper, minced garlic, 2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese, and basil into the Magic Bullet Blender, blend until smooth, and set aside.
- Season the cube steaks with salt and pepper.
- Dip the steak into the beaten egg. Let the egg drain, but don’t shake off excess. Dip into bread crumbs, lightly pressing into the meat on both sides. Place on a wire rack. Do the same to the second steak. Leave both steaks on the rack for 5 minutes
- Place 2-3 tsp of oil in a large skillet (both steaks should fit in the pan) over medium-high heat. Place the steaks in the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 3 more minutes.
- Flip steaks gently and cook for 5 minutes. Remove steaks gently from the skillet and keep warm.
- Clean the skillet with a paper towel and place it on medium heat. Heat the roasted pepper sauce, stirring until hot.
- Serve steaks with sauce over them, adding the 1 Tbsp of Parmesan cheese for garnish.
Notes
For this recipe, we tried using buttermilk first, but the egg works much better.
Allowing the steaks to rest for 5 minutes allows the bread crumbs to adhere better to the meat.
We like to serve this with our Roasted Parmesan Green Beans.
