Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lay out the cube steaks and season them with garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley flakes.
- Roll up each seasoned steak tightly and secure with wooden toothpicks.
- Dredge the rolled steaks in bread crumbs until fully coated.
- Place the breaded steak rolls on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- In the last few minutes of baking, top each roll with tomato sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes to the bread crumbs. If you're short on time, you can substitute cube steaks with thinly sliced chicken breast or pork loin. Make sure to secure the rolls tightly with toothpicks to prevent them from unrolling during baking. If you prefer a healthier option, try using whole wheat bread crumbs instead.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the breaded steak rolls with a side of mashed potatoes or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. They also pair wonderfully with a rich tomato sauce or marinara for dipping. For a heartier option, consider serving alongside Rich Beef And Gravy (Crock-Pot Recipe) for a comforting dinner experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover breaded steak rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the rolls on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain their crispiness compared to microwaving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare the steak rolls in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the steak rolls a day ahead. Assemble and bread the rolls, then store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake. This can save time on a busy day and allows the flavors to meld together.
What can I use instead of Parmesan cheese?
If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can substitute it with grated Pecorino Romano for a similar flavor. Alternatively, nutritional yeast can be used for a dairy-free option, providing a cheesy flavor without the dairy.
Can I freeze the breaded steak rolls?
Absolutely! You can freeze the unbaked breaded steak rolls. Lay them on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to cook, bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
