I’m loving easy crock pot meals this winter. It’s so easy to fix it and forget it until you smell the wonderful Italian aroma. Here’s a no fuss meal with very little prep and it can easily be modified with chicken if you desire. I have a lot of cube steak on hand from our bulk beef purchase so I wanted to try it. The end result was super yummy over whole wheat spaghetti.
Store-bought or bulk crock pot marinara works for this recipe.
Japanese Panko crumbs are found in the Asian isle.
My crock pot cooks extremely hot so I have to watch the sauce from evaporating, which I didn’t do today. In the future, I will add some water to my marinara to have lots of sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 cube steaks, tenderized
- 1 1/2 cups panko crumbs
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 24 oz. jar or can of favorite marinara
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare two separate plates of beaten egg and panko crumbs.
- Season the crumbs with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Dip the steaks in the beaten egg on both sides.
- Press the crumbs heavily on both sides of the steak.
- Pour about 1/2 cup of marinara to cover the bottom of the crock pot.
- Place steaks on top of the sauce slightly overlapping edges if necessary.
- Pour remaining sauce on top.
- Crock on low 4-6 hours until very tender.
- Sprinkle cheese on top during the last fifteen minutes prior to serving. Cover and allow cheese to melt.
- Serve over spaghetti, linguini or rotini noodles.
