Tasty Cheese Steaks


Good morning everyone, thought I would do a quick post before I head out to work. The other night we wanted steaks, but not the same old steaks. I decided to try a recreation of a steak I had at Olive Garden. For this I took a regular round steak and marked it on the stove top grill.
After that I placed them in a cake pan and let them cook for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Then I pulled them out and put a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese on top. I have said it before when it comes to mozzarella cheese I like the soft fresh stuff, not the shredded stuff. We found a tub of fresh cheese at Fred Meyer that was already cut into perfect size rounds. then after the cheese was on top I put a little bit of Italian Style Bread Crumbs in top. I returned them to the oven to brown the bread crumbs and melt the cheese just a bit.
It was close to how the Olive Garden steak, but they had larger style bread crumbs with a little more spice in them, I think for next time I will pick up some Panko Bread Crumbs and add my own seasonings to get a better topping. The side dish on the first picture Tanya made, they are a mix of purple potatoes and yellow fingerling potatoes that she diced and sprinkled Lipton onion soup mix on, the she roasted them in the oven til they were fork tender. Then to finish them off she put a little garlic salt over the top. Well that's about all the time I have, I am leaving for work a few minutes early today, Scott and I have an idea for a great dessert and I need to stop by a store to pick up a few supplies.
