Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut steak into pieces, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Combine beaten egg, milk, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper to make the coating mixture.
- Dip each steak piece into the egg mixture, then into bread crumbs to coat.
- Brown the coated meat in bacon drippings until browned on all sides.
- Add water to the skillet; sprinkle with oregano.
- Place 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on each piece of meat.
- Arrange small onions on top of the meat and cheese.
- Cover and cook at 325°F (163°C) for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier coating, consider using panko bread crumbs instead of regular ones. You can also substitute bacon drippings with olive oil or butter if you're looking for a lighter option. If you want to add some heat, try incorporating a pinch of red pepper flakes into the coating mixture. Don't rush the browning step, as it adds flavor to the dish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cheesy round steak with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a comforting meal. A fresh garden salad can add a nice crunch and balance the richness of the dish. You might also consider pairing it with Baked Beans With Sausage for a hearty, satisfying dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the steak pieces in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep them moist. Cover the skillet to ensure even heating, and warm until heated through.
