CUBE STEAKS PARMIGIANA
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup finely crushed saltines (about 10 crackers)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
4 beef cube steaks (1 pound)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups tomato sauce
2 1/4 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat eggs and water. Place cracker crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 of basil in a third bowl.
Coat steaks with flour mixture, then dip in egg mixture and coat with crumb mixture. In a large skillet, brown steaks in oil for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Combine the tomato sauce, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon oregano and garlic powder; spoon over steaks and bake 10 minutes longer.
