Happy First Day of Autumn Everybody! And what a perfect Fall Day it's been! About 42 and sunny this morning and a high of 68 and sunshine all day. Went to my Aunt's 82nd Birthday Party this afternoon. She's in assisted living but she's doing pretty good. Good to see a lot of the family, and all their kids who are getting big. Then for dinner tonight I prepared Chicken Fried Cubed Pork Steak w/ Mashed Potatoes, White Gravy, Boiled Mini Carrots, and Biscuits. Nothing like a good old Country Dinner on a Sunday!
I had a package of Walmart Cubed Pork Steak in the freezer that I had laid out in the fridge overnight to thaw. Had the big three to bread them with; Flour, EggBeater's, and Bread Crumbs. I seasoned the Flour with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper and I then seasoned the Egg Beater's with Hungarian Sweet Paprika and used Progresso Italian Style Bread Crumbs. I first rolled the Cubed Steaks in the seasoned Flour, shaking off the excess. Next I dipped them in the seasoned Egg Beater's again shaking off the excess. The final step was to roll them in the Italian Style Bread Crumbs, making sure both sides were well covered. When that's complete I pan fried them in a medium size skillet, in Canola Oil. Fried them until both sides were Golden Brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. They came out the perfect Golden Brown on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside! I like using the Pork Cubed Steaks over the Beef, their more tender, less stringy, and healthier.
For side dishes I prepared my favorite Mashed Potatoes, Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes. Easy to fix and delicious. To prepare them just heat them up in the microwave for 6 minutes or so and their ready. To top my Mashed Potatoes and Cubed Pork Steak I made some Pioneer Peppered White Gravy. Another quick and easy prep and comes out piping hot and delicious. I topped both my Mashed Potatoes and Cubed Steak with it. I also boiled some Mini carrots and baked a small container of Pillsbury Grands Jr. Golden Layer Biscuits. Whole Grain Bread would have been less calories but Biscuits with this Dinner is perfect! For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Double Chocolate Pudding.
