Italian Steaks

By carvalhohm2

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 beef top sirloin steak (1 pound)
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 1/4 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

Preparation

Step 1

In a shallow bowl, whisk egg. In another shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Cut steak into four pieces; dip each piece in egg, then coat with bread crumb mixture.

In a large skillet, cook steaks in oil over medium-high heat for 2-4 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).

Meanwhile, heat sauce in a small saucepan. Spoon over steaks; sprinkle with cheese.
