Cubed Steak Sandwich w/ Baked Waffle Fries

Dinner Tonight: Cubed Steak Sandwich w/ Baked Waffle Fries






I made a Egg beater's Egg White Omelet that I filled with my 3 Bean Buffalo Chili and Sargento
Reduced Fat Shredded Colby - Jack Cheese. I also toasted a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Shortly after that we had to take my Mom's car to mechanics. The Engine Light has come on and it's time for a Oil Change and to see what's causing the light to come on. So I followed there and brought her back home while it was being repaired. On the way back we stopped at Kroger, Mom needed a few items. Back home I didn't do a whole lot, I'm having lower back problems. If it continues to get worse I'll be making a trip to the ER or Doctors. For dinner tonight I prepared a Cubed Steak Sandwich w/ Baked Waffle Fries.
 




It's very seldom I use Beef but when I do it’s usually my favorite Cubed Steak, Meijer Beef Cubed
Steak. When I go to Meijer I always pick up a package or two. The best Cubed Steak I have ever found by far. They’re good size patties so I’m able to cut them in half and get 2 meals out 1 pattie. I had a package in the freezer so I let it thaw overnight in the fridge. I first grabbed a small sauce pan and heated up a jar of Heinz Brown Mushroom Gravy. I added some extra sliced Portabella Mushrooms to it for some extra Mushrooms. To prepare the Cubed Steak I seasoned them with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper and I then dusted them in flour that I had mixed with a bit of Hungarian Paprika. Shook off the excess flour and pan fried them in Extra Virgin Oil, about 4 minutes per side. They came out delicious! Excellent flavor and very tender, especially for Cubed Steak which sometimes can be somewhat tough and stringy. Served it on toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread and topped it with some Heinz Mushroom Brown Gravy. I’ll have the other half for breakfast in the morning.




To go with Cube Steak I baked some Ore Ida Waffle Fries. I preheated the oven to 425 degrees. I
used a small baking sheet that I lined with foil and sprayed the foil with Pam Cooking Spray. The Waffle Fries are a little higher in calories than the Crinkle Fries I normally prepare, but it's good   to change it up a bit. So I lined the Fries on the baking sheet, seasoned them with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper, and baked them for about 17 minutes (until a light golden brown). Just  a flat out excellent Fry, as all Ore Ida Products! I had a side of Hunt’s Ketchup for dipping  the Fries and a Snapple Diet Half and Half Lemonade/Tea to drink. For dessert later a Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream Bar.







Cube Steak
Cube steak is a cut of beef, usually top round or top sirloin, tenderized by fierce pounding with a
meat tenderizer, or use of an electric tenderizer. The name refers to the shape of the indentations left by that process (called “cubing”). Many professional cooks insist that regular tenderizing mallets cause too much mashing to produce a proper cube steak, and insist on either using specialized cube steak machines, or manually applying a set of sharp-pointed rods to pierce the meat in every direction. This is the most common cut of meat used for chicken fried steak.

In Canada as well as in some parts of the United States, cube steak may be called a minute steak, because it can be cooked quickly.
Others distinguish minute steak as:
* simply referring to the cut, which is not necessarily tenderized;
* thinner than cube steak (hence does not need tenderizing);
* cut from sirloin or round, while cube steak cut is from chuck or round.
The term “minute steak” is also used in the United Kingdom, where the term “cube steak” is little known.

Cubed Steak Sandwich w/ Baked Waffle Fries

Dinner Tonight: Cubed Steak Sandwich w/ Baked Waffle Fries




Well the big snow that headed to the East missed our are a completely, which is fine by me! For Breakfast I had an Egg Beater's Scrambled Egg White that I served on a Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin.



Wow, you don't realize how much you miss your computer until it goes down on you. I went to go
online last night around 9:00 and I had no Internet service. Called Time Warner and checked it out and said it was showing I had service. After more checking they said it had to be my modem, which is about 8 years old now. There just enough ice and snow leftover from the other day that I was going to need a little help getting out and going to a local mall where Time Warner is located to get a mew modem. So I called around last night to various friends and it seemed everyone was busy Saturday. I was determined to get there one way or another this morning. I was up early, as usual, so before Breakfast I over to the computer unplugged everything and plugged everything back up, and BAM I had service again! Something must have loosened up. No Internet just overnight but I suddenly realized how much I use a computer. Especially being in a wheelchair, it provides a lot of entertainment and gives me a lot to do. But I'm back! Anyway for dinner tonight I prepared a Cubed Steak Sandwich w/ Baked Waffle Fries.




I rarely use Beef anymore but when I do it’s usually my favorite Cubed Steak, Meijer Cubed Steak.

Cubed Steak Sandwich w/ Cut Italian Green Beans and Whole New Potatoes

Dinner Tonight: Cubed Steak Sandwich w/ Cut Italian Green Beans and Whole New Potatoes




Cool and rainy morning to start. Had a light Breakfast and headed out to Kroger to pick up a couple of items for tomorrow night's dinner. Back home did some laundry and then some house cleaning. Then we still had a couple of chairs and outside table that I moved into the shed for the Winter, it's getting to be that time of year! For dinner tonight I prepared a Cubed Steak Sandwich w/ Cut Italian Green Beans and Whole New Potatoes.





I rarely use Beef anymore but when I do it’s usually my favorite Cubed Steak, Meijer Cubed Steak. When I go to Meijer I always pick up a package or two. The best Cubed Steak I have ever found by

Shook off the excess flour and pan fried them in Extra Virgin Oil, about 4 minutes per side. They came out delicious! Excellent flavor and very tender, especially for Cubed Steak which sometimes can be somewhat tough and stringy. Served it on toasted Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread and topped it with some Heinz Mushroom Brown Gravy. I’ll have the other half for breakfast in the morning.





Then for one side dish I heated a can of Allens Cut Italian Green Beans. My Aunt had grown some in
her garden and brought us over some last Summer and loved them. Then just the other day while at Kroger I came across the Allens Cut Italian Green Beans, so I bought 4 cans of them. Prepared 1 can the other night. Just empty the can into a small sauce pan and simmer until heated. I love the taste of these, just season with a bit of Sea salt and it’s ready! I could have Beans every day and never get tired of having them.






Then for another side I heated up the leftover Del Monte Whole New Potatoes from the other night's dinner. Just reheated and serve, seasoned with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn Medley, Parsley, and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Mousse.
