Cubed Steaks Parmigiana
3 T. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 eggs
3 T. water
1/3 C. finely crushed saltines
1/3 C. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. dried basil
4 beef cubed steaks (4 oz. each)
3 T. canola oil
1-1/4 C. tomato sauce
2-1/4 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. dried oregano, divided
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
4 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/3 C. shredded Parmesan cheese
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat eggs and water. Place cracker crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese and basil in a third bowl. Coat steaks with flour mixture, then dip in egg mixture and coat with crumb mixture. In a large skillet, brown steaks in oil for 2-3 minutes on each side. Arrange steaks in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 160°. Combine the tomato sauce, sugar, 1/4 tsp. oregano and garlic powder; spoon over steaks. Bake 10 minutes longer. Top each steak with mozzarella cheese; sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese and remaining oregano. Bake 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted
