How to make parmesan pork cube steaks

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, mix Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion salt, tomato sauce, and water to create a sauce.

Move the sauce bowl to a safe place on the side of the work zone.

The next step is breading the pork cube steaks. If you don’t have a mixing tray set, shallow dishes or large plates are good alternatives. You will use two trays and two plates to complete the breading process.
