Ingredients
Instructions
- Pound the Parmesan cheese into the steaks.
- Lightly roll the steaks in flour and season with salt and pepper.
- Saute the steaks slowly in hot fat until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged. If you want a little crunch, consider adding breadcrumbs to the flour mixture. To enhance the dish, marinate the cube steaks in a mix of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for an hour before cooking. If you prefer a healthier option, replace the frying fat with a light spray of olive oil.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these quick and easy beef steaks with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with a creamy mashed potato or a light pasta dish. For a fun twist, consider serving alongside a refreshing beverage like Moo Punch to complement the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cooked steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the steaks in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side, adding a splash of broth or water to keep them moist. Avoid microwaving as it can make the meat tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! While Parmesan adds a unique flavor, you can substitute with Pecorino Romano or even a sharp cheddar for a different taste profile. Just keep in mind that the melting properties of each cheese may vary, so adjust cooking times accordingly.
What can I serve with the beef steaks?
These beef steaks are versatile and can be served with a variety of sides. Consider classic options like mashed potatoes or steamed broccoli. For a more adventurous pairing, try them with a light and refreshing Ambrosia Dessert Bowl for dessert to round out the meal.
How do I know when the steaks are done cooking?
To ensure your steaks are cooked through, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for medium-rare. If you prefer them more well-done, aim for 160°F. Alternatively, you can cut into one of the steaks to check for doneness; the juices should run clear.
