Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

We had this for dinner tonight and thought it was very good. I followed the directions exactly except I did not add sugar to the tomato sauce as we don't like sweet spaghetti sauce. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe is very good and was enjoyed even by my son who is a very picky eater. I used Ritz crackers in place of saltines.

This is delicious, my husband isn't one for trying something new but he loves this dish. I have made it several times now and on one occasion I used pork cube steak.....That was a NO! NO! Stick with the beef...Great Recipe

This has become one of my husbands favorites (and mine)! I love the flavor of the tomato sauce and I make sure to really pound out my meat thin. My mouth waters when I think of this recipe! Sometimes if I am in a hurry I have substituted Italian Bread crumbs and then mixed in the parm. cheese. That way I am not scrabbling through my spices.

I've only made cubed steak twice and after having this recipe I realized that it's not my choice of meat. The recipe was good itself, nothing too special but simple and creative.

My husband and I purchase a half of beef every Fall, so I have plenty of cube steaks and I am always looking for new recipes. This was delicious! We both enjoyed it and will definitely make again. Thank you for the recipe!
