Cube Steak Sandwich w/ Roasted Baby Gold Potatoes and Sliced Carrots

Dinner Tonight: Cube Steak Sandwich w/ Roasted Baby Gold Potatoes and Sliced Carrots



Had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea for Breakfast and then off to Meijer and quick stop at Kroger. Wanted to get back home to get some things done today around the house. I built a couple of new

shelves for the shed that I installed today. Then inside the house I had to replace some moulding that damaged while in my Hoveround, which happens a lot! Life in a wheelchair! Very thankful for my Hoveround Mobility Chair, it's my legs now. If you have allergies, stay out of Southwest Ohio for the next few days! They said that for the next few days that Pollen, Mold, and etc. will be terrible. And by the way my head feels along with my sneezing they're right! Suffering with it today. For dinner tonight I prepared Cube Steak Sandwich w/  Roasted Baby Gold Potatoes and Sliced Carrots.




I used my favorite Cubed Steak, Meijer Cubed Steak. I picked up a couple of packages this morning at Meijer, it’s the best Cubed Steak I have ever found or had. It’s about the only Beef I ever have,

normally I have Buffalo, Fish, Chicken, or Pork. They’re good size patties so I was able to cut them in half and get 2 meals out 1 pattie. To prepare them I seasoned them with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper and I then rolled them in flour that I had mixed with a bit of Hungarian Paprika. Shook off the excess flour and pan fried them in Canola 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. Topped with some Heinz 57 Sauce and served it on a Aunt Millie's Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun.





I made a skillet of Roasted Potato and Turkey Bacon. To make this Potato Dish I’ll need; 2 Slices of Jennie – O Turkey Bacon, Sea Salt Ground Black Pepper, 1/2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Baby Gold Potatoes (quartered). Start by heating a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add Turkey Bacon to pan; cook 5 minutes or until crisp. Remove Bacon from pan; crumble. Add Potatoes to drippings in pan; cook 4 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once. Then bake at 375° for 12 minutes or until Potatoes are fork tender. Sprinkle Bacon and Parsley over Potatoes; serve with pork. Excellent Potato Dish.





Then I opened up a can of Del Monte Sliced Carrots. These are so much easier to prepare than
boiling fresh Carrots, and they taste just as fresh and good as fresh Carrots. Just empty the can of Carrots into a small sauce pan; heat to a boil and reduce heat to a slow simmer until heated through. Drain excess liquid and serve. Also had a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread topped with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. 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 w/ White Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, and Cut Italian Beans

Dinner Tonight:  Cubed Steak w/ White Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, and Cut Italian Beans




Another cold day out there, also still a strong cold breeze blowing which makes it feel even colder.They say next week though the temps go up to the 50's and 60's all week. Looks as though it will be a Wet Christmas instead of a White one. Had a few errands to run after Breakfast. Those out of the way came back home and did some house cleaning. Then I baked some Sausage Crescent Cheese Balls for snacks late this evening. You can read the separate post for the recipe. For dinner tonight it's a  Cubed Steak w/ White Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, and Cut Italian Beans.




While at Meijer the other day I picked up a couple of packages of the Meijer Beef Cubed Steak. When I go to Meijer I always pick up a package or two. They are 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 of 1 patty. They come 2 to a package so I froze the other patty. I tried a new flour and spice combination to coat it with. I was watching Food Network last night and this was the coating that they used on their Cuber Steak and looked delicious, so why not give it a try!








For the Cube Steak dredging I'll need; Dried Oregano, Cayenne Pepper, Onion Powder, Garlic
Powder, Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, and Flour. I'll also need 2% White Milk. The amounts of Spices will vary according to the size and how many Cube Steaks you'll be using. In this case with making 1 Cube Steak I used 1 teaspoon of each Spice combined with 1/4 cup of Flour.  








I first put the flour into a pie pan and added the Spices and mixed with a fork. To prepare it I

seasoned the Cube Steak with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper. I then dredged it in the Milk, shaking off the excess, and then dredged it in the Spice and Flour mix. I then took a medium size skillet, sprayed it Pam Cooking Spray and added 1/2 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Heated it on medium heat. When the skillet was heated I fried it about 4 minutes per side. It came out golden brown and delicious! Excellent flavor from the Spices and very tender, especially for Cubed Steak which sometimes can be somewhat tough and stringy. I've found another recipe to prepare Cube Steak with! This recipe will work on Cubed Pork Steak also.




For a side dish I heated up some Bob Evan’s Mashed Potatoes, just microwave for 6 minutes total.

Then I also made some Pioneer Peppered White Gravy, that I used to put on the Mashed Potatoes and Cubed Steak. Then for one side dish I heated a can of Allen's Cut Italian Green Beans. To prepare them 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. This turned out to be one Classic Comfort Food Dinner! For dessert later a Devil's Food Chocolate Frosted Cup Cake.

Cube Steak Sandwich w/ Baked Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

Dinner Tonight: Cube Steak Sandwich w/ Baked Roasted Fingerling Potatoes




This morning I started off with Ham and Scrambled Egg on a Healthy Choice Whole Grain English

Muffin. Along with my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After breakfast got a couple of loads of laundry done for Mom. Outside got the leaf blower out and cleaned around the house. We have a wooden ramp leading into the kitchen door and under the ramp we have a Mama Rabbit with 5 little ones, they peek out from time to time. After cleaning had some free time and got the 4 wheel cart out to enjoy another beautiful day out there again. Very hot weather moving in though with high humidity, 3 or more days where the highs will be mid 90's and the heat index well over 100 degrees. So for dinner tonight I prepared a Cube Steak Sandwich w/ Baked Roasted Fingerling Potatoes.





I used my absolute favorite Cubed Steak, Meijer Cubed Steak. When I go to Meijer I always pick up a package or two, it's the best Cubed Steak I have ever found or had.

Shook off the excess flour and pan fried them in Canola 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 a Kroger Lite Wheat Hamburger Bun and topped it with some Heinz Mushroom Brown Gravy.




For a side I had some Fingerling Potatoes left so I used them tonight, prepared Roasted Fingerling

Potatoes. Started by washing the Potatoes off in cold water. I then cut the Fingerling Potatoes in half, lengthwise. Put the Potatoes in a large bowl seasoned them with; Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Sea Salt, Pepper, Chili Powder, and Kraft Reduced Fat Parmesan Grated Cheese to top the Potatoes with. Using a cookie sheet lined with foil I spread the Potatoes out on the sheet . Then Roasted them at 400 degrees until they were fork tender, about 20 minutes. Still can’t figure out why it’s so hard to find Fingerling Potatoes in this area, only 1 store around here locally that sells them (Thank you Jungle Jim's). For dessert later a jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Cubed Steak w/ Baked Potato, Green Beans, French Bread

Dinner Tonight: Cubed Steak w/ Baked Potato, Green Beans, French Bread








A beautiful Winters day out today, in the 30's but lots of Sunshine! My friends who go to Florida just got back and called to tell me that they had some Red Snapper but no Grouper this time. Grouper is out of season right now and if you catch any they have to be returned., but fresh Red Snapper will do! For dinner tonight Meijer Cubed Steak, my favorite Cubed Steak by far. I prepared Cubed Steak w/ Baked Potato, Green Beans, French Bread.

I normally don’t eat Beef, I prefer Buffalo, but I make an exception for the Meijer Cubed Steak. They're were good size patties so I cut them in half and have 1 for dinner and the other half for breakfast. To prepare them I seasoned them with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper and I then rolled them in flour that I had mixed with a bit of Hungarian Paprika. Shook off the excess flour and pan fried them in Canola Oil, about 4 minutes per side. These come out so delicious! Excellent flavor and very tender, especially for Cubed Steak which sometimes can be somewhat tough and stringy. Topped with Sauteed Mushrooms.








For one side I had a Baked Potato that I topped with Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. Then I heated up a small can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans and baked a loaf of Pillsbury Rustic French Bread that I topped with Sesame Seeds. Then for dessert later a Weight Watchers Vanilla Fudge Swirl Ice Cream Cone.
