Panko Crusted Cubed Pork Steak w/ Gravy, Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans

Dinner Tonight: Panko Crusted Cubed Pork Steak w/ Gravy, Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans








Had a light breakfast to start the day, Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin topped with Smucker's Sugar Free Blackberry Jam and a cup of hot brewed Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Our streak of beautiful weather continued, low humidity and a high of 81 degrees! Cleaned the Pantry today, straightened stuff up and pitched a few items that expired. For dinner tonight it's a Panko Crusted Cubed Pork Steak w/ Gravy, Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans.








I grabbed a Cubed Pork Steak out of the freezer and let it thaw overnight in the fridge. I used the big three to bread it with; Flour, Egg Beater’s, and Panko Bread Crumbs. I seasoned the Steak with Sea Salt and Black Ground Pepper. Next I seasoned the Flour with Hungarian Paprika and rolled the Cube Pork in that and shook off the excess. Then I dipped it in the Egg Beater’s shaking off the excess and then pressed both sides in the Shake and Bake Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs, making sure both sides was well covered. I heated up a medium size skillet, that I had drizzled with Canola Oil, on medium high heat. Added my Cubed Pork and fried  both sides about 4 minutes, till each side was golden brown. The Cubed Pork Steak comes out delicious preparing it this way! Moist and very tender with a good flavor from the Paprika. As always  the Steak is so huge so I cut in half and I’ll have the other half for Breakfast in the morning. I like the Shake and Bake Seasoned Panko, a lot fewer calories than most. Once again it's hard to beat the quality of Kroger Pork.








For one side dish I prepared my favorite Mashed Potatoes, Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes. Easy  to fix and delicious. To prepare it just heat it up in the microwave for 6 minutes and it's 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. Then I also heated up a small can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans. One delicious Country Comfort Food Dinner tonight! For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Mousse.
