Valentine's Day was a fairly typical day at our house...clothes piled to the ceiling waiting to be washed/dried/folded, 2 insane kittens suspended from the curtains, mewing because they can't climb down, a child and husband asking "What's for our Valentine's Day dinner?" and the mama/wife feeling pressured to create something quick and tasty, so that she finally says, "How about I just make our favorite meal and we have Sunday's king cake for dessert?" to which both husband and child reply, "Sure," then, silence, a pause and "Uh, what's our favorite meal?" Sigh.
Actually, paneed anything and pasta with marinara is one of my go-to weekday meals. Everyone in the family loves it Brett and I love it, and Andrew will eat it with a minimum of complaints. While not 30-minutes or less quick, the entire meal is usually ready in an hour, and it's certainly tasty!
So, after a delicious dinner, a slice or two of king cake, and a DVR'd Fringe, I'd say my Valentine's Day evening was quite lovely.
I'd love to know what did you do for Valentine's Day. Did you go out with your honey? Make a romantic dinner for two? Or, did it play out something like my Valentine's Day?
Paneed Round Steak Printable recipe
1 1/2 lbs round steak, cut into serving sizes and tenderized (I use this or you could also use cube steak)
1 cup flour, seasoned with salt and pepper3 eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups Italian breadcrumbs or Italian panko
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil, for pan frying
Set up your breading station:
Pour seasoned flour onto a shallow plate
Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan on a shallow plate, as well
In a bowl, beat together eggs and milk
Dip the round steak into the flour, egg wash, and then into the breadcrumbs
Place breaded round steak onto a piece of parchment or wax paper, and let rest while oil is heating
Pour oil into frying pan, about 1/4" deep, over medium-high heat.
Place breaded meat into hot oil and allow to cook until dark golden brown; turn over and continue to cook until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow meat to rest for 10 minutes before serving
Everyday Marinara
28 oz crushed tomatoes
1 large onion, small dice
1 tablespoon grated or finely minced garlic
11/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Sugar, optional (add 1-2 tablespoons if you like a sweeter sauce)
Heat extra virgin olive oil over medium high heat; add diced onion and minced garlic.
Cook for 5-8 minutes or until translucent and softened.
Stir in dried Italian seasoning and allow to cook over medium heat for a minute or so.
Add crushed tomatoes, bring to a boil, stir well, and reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste for seasoning, add salt, pepper and sugar, as desired.

Your paneed steak looks mouthwatering Louanne. I didn't do anything, it was same as usual for us here, plus I feel a little under the weather and have a sore throat.
ReplyDeleteI think steak is the ultimate V-Day food and I truly love anything with pasta! What a great meal.
ReplyDeleteyour meal looks so delicious and we all know home cooked is cooked with love
ReplyDeleteLouanne, this looks so good - and it's a technique I've never made.
ReplyDeleteI love round steak and usually slow cook it. I will definitely try this.

I'm glad to hear you had a wonderful Valentine's Day, Louanne! What a great meal, I can definitely see why it's a favorite in your house!
ReplyDeleteSadly, valentine's day was just another monday in my house :( So much for romance, eh? You're recipe looks really good. I make something similar with pork all the time, but have never used beef. I love the idea. Thanks for sharing with the Hearth and Soul hop.
ReplyDeleteYum, I love your combination of steak and pasta! So comforting and satisfying!

I like the looks of this meal! yum!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a yummy V-day meal to me! I love cutlets fried like that...never served it with pasta before. Will have to do that next time! I made risotto and sauteed shrimp, and we had a quiet Valentine's at home. I picked up cupcakes and choc-dipped strawberries at my favorite bakery, and Michael surprised me with cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. Other husbands bring home flowers and cards...mine brings me ginormous shrimp and cheesecake!!
ReplyDeletethis looks so yummy! we have a similar routine here...but with chicken rather than steak! we go out to dinner for valentine's day..but that is only to give me a break from the kitchen :) that is my gift each year from hubster. thank you for sharing this terrific meal with tuesday night supper club.
ReplyDeleteI used to make a similar dish all the time and haven't in quite a while....Yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at the hearth and soul hop.
Hi Louanne!
