Ingredients
Instructions
- Dip each steak into the beaten eggs.
- Roll the steaks in crushed corn flakes, seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
- Brown the coated steaks in hot fat until golden.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider seasoning the corn flakes with garlic powder or paprika before coating the steaks. If you don't have crushed corn flakes, panko breadcrumbs or crushed crackers can serve as a substitute. To make the dish healthier, use a low-sodium cream of mushroom soup or homemade mushroom sauce. Remember to adjust baking time based on the thickness of your steaks for optimal tenderness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the oven-fried steak alongside mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. For a comforting touch, consider pairing it with Hot Rize Biscuits. Drizzling some additional cream of mushroom soup over the top before serving can enhance the flavor and presentation. This dish also pairs well with roasted vegetables for a complete dinner experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the steaks in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This helps maintain the crispy coating while ensuring the steak remains juicy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of steak for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts of beef like flank steak or sirloin, but cooking times may vary. Ensure your steaks are thin for even cooking. If using thicker cuts, you may need to adjust the baking time or sear them longer before baking.
What can I use instead of cream of mushroom soup?
If you prefer a different flavor profile, you can substitute with cream of chicken soup or a homemade mushroom gravy. For a vegetarian option, try a creamy cashew sauce or a vegetarian mushroom sauce to maintain the dish's richness.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the coated steaks and place them in the baking dish with the soup, then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just be sure to let them come to room temperature before placing them in the oven to ensure even cooking.
