I thought this was really good and simple. I did not fry them in the amount of oil specified, just enough to coat the pan. The lemon was a nice twist at the end. I served mine with buttered egg noodles on the side. Yummy.

A delicious and quick meal! I prepared it a little different. I seasoned the beef for about an hour while I was boiling my potatoes. I added salt, pepper, a hint of cumin (don't use too much!), some oregano and italian seasoning (bought as a spice at local supermarket). I then layed out three bowls, one with an egg, the other with all-purpose flour, and the last one with seasoned bread crumbs. I covered strips with flour then immersed in egg then last but not least covered in breadcrumbs. It was great! I served with mashed potatoes and salad.

I always made cube steaks the same boring way and was looking for something quick, easy and different. The cumin added a nice flavor. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

I thought this was a little bland and my hubby did not care for the breading.

Not horrible but not great either. I didn't change a thing about the recipe and the steaks had almost no flavor.

I have to say this was one of the most tasteless dishes I have ever tasted. Even putting salt, garlic and other seasonings on after recipe completed did nothing to aid the taste.

Love this recipe. My husband and I both love cuban food. This is wonderful. A little bland by itself however, but to liven it up I added a topping of...can of diced tomatoes with (mild or reg) green chilies, packet of Sazon seasoning, some chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano and some corn starch to thicken. Makes a wonderful topping for the steak. Also served with yellow rice, black beans and corn. Delicious meal! A hit everytime! Roxie, Thanks so much for submitting this recipe!

This wasn't too bad! I was kind of nervous because I have had some bad luck with cube steak. But the breading for this is really good. Make sure that you like the taste of cumin before you make it though, you can taste it very well.

These were a great change to the batter and deep fried steaks. I added a dash of red pepper to spice it up a bit.

Found this recipe to be a wonderful update on an old comfort food.I chose a little healthier version by sauteing in olive oil.

Being Cuban, I grew up on "bistec empanizado," but my family's recipe is slightly different from this one. I omit the cumin (which I am not fond of) and the oregano, and substite garlic powder for those seasonings. I sprinkle the steaks liberally with lemon and garlic powder before cooking for best taste. This is the way my grandpa used to make them, and it is the recipe I still swear by, with white rice, black beans, fried plantains and yuca con mojo (cassava root salted and boiled and served with a warm dressing of olive oil, lemon, garlic and onion).

I am not very good at cooking chicken fried steak or anything that needs to be dredged/floured and fried. I tried this on a late night when I realized I didnt have the ingredients to make another dish I had planned on. I had all of the ingredients on hand for this. I thought it was pretty easy, pretty tasty and worth keeping. I wouldn't say it was bland, but I can see that you could jazz it up some by adding different seasonings to the bread crumbs.

Made as described, except used 2 8 ounce cube steaks. Didn't have fresh lemon so I squeezed lemon juice on my steak. I thought this made the steak. Unfortunately, my husband isn't a fan of lemon and thought the steaks were just ok. I also with they could've been more tender, but they are cube steaks! I served with the Easy Black Beans & Rice resipe from this site. Overall, it was an easy recipe and I enjoyed it because I love cuban dishes, but probably will not make again.

This was simple and very tasty. Knowing my family's taste for spice I generously added lemon pepper, garlic powder and enough cayenne pepper to make a difference. The breading came out browned and crispy - add the lemon wedges and you've got happy taste buds :) Inspired by another reviewer I served this with black beans and fried bananas (I didn't have plantains)
