By LoriCaputo

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. round steak
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 4 tbs. cooking oil
• ¾ cup chopped onion
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• ¼ cup water
• ¼ tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. oregano
• ¼ lb. mozzarella cheese, grated

Preparation

Step 1

Trim fat from meat and cut into serving sized pieces. Combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Dip the meat into the egg and then in cheese mix. Brown both sides in 2 tbs. oil. Sauté onions in the remaining oil until tender, about three minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce, water, and seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Arrange meat in a shallow baking dish, cover with ¾ of sauce, spread with mozzarella and add remaining sauce. Bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes, until meat is tender.
