Italian Fried Steak

Thursday, June 1, 2017
Italian Fried Steak is one of the best tasting coatings for just about any kind of meat you add it too.

When I was a child I remember the smell of these fried steaks mom used to make, that is a smell you never forget, your mouth waters as the aroma hits you.

The fragrant meat while frying is full of Italian herbs, spices, and of course lots of fresh garlic.

Mom made was a butcher and also ran her own deli, she was very skilled in cooking and this remains a favorite family recipe to make in her memory.

If you love fried steak also try our Chicken Fried T-Bone or Chicken Fried Chicken recipe, it's another family favorite!

The Italian coating mixture and marinade was also great on chicken, veal, cube steaks and just about anything you have available.

Fried, Baking or Air Fried:



Baking: Place the steaks on parchment paper in a deep casserole dish.
For a medium-rare steak finish in the oven for 10 minutes.
For medium steak 15 minutes in the oven
For well done 25 to 30 minutes.
I finished cooking these steaks in the oven so the outside crust doesn't burn while frying in the pan if you need a longer time for how you like your steak done.
Air Fried: place the steak on oil sprayed foil. Air Fry at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Check for crunchy cracker crust, then continue until the outside is crispy and the steak is done to your preference.
Fried: In a large frypan add 2 tablespoons of butter and canola or vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan and heat to medium heat. Saute steaks on one side till golden brown then turn and cook till golden brown on the other side.

Boneless or Bone-In?



I have made this recipe with both boneless and bone-in however I prefer boneless to prevent bone fragments.


If you do use another meat, it's easy to cut the meat off the bone with a sharp knife first.


Either way, whether you use either style of meat, just be careful leaving the bone in.
