PREPARATION:
Steak Parmesan – Portion and Bread (do this step before starting pre-preparation):
- Preheat the oven to 230°C.
- Portion the filet mignon – 1 steak per person. Thin the steaks with a meat tenderizer to the desired thickness.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Set aside 3 bowls or deep plates.
- In the first one, beat the egg with a little water (optional) and add salt.
- In another put the flour and in the third the breadcrumbs or panko mixed with paprika.
- Dip the steaks first in the flour and then in the beaten egg, drain the excess egg.
- Finally, wrap them in breadcrumbs or panko mixed with paprika and press well so that they are completely breaded evenly.
- Arrange the steaks in a lightly greased baking dish and let a drizzle of oil drip over each one.
- Place in a preheated oven at 230°C and cook for about 50 minutes, turning them halfway through.
- Continue the pre-preparation (step 3).
Tomato sauce (do this step before continuing the pre-preparation):
- Wash the bay leaf.
- In a pan, over medium heat, put the peeled tomatoes with the juice and with the help of a vertical potato masher or a wooden spoon, mash the tomato cubes until you get a rustic puree.
- Add the boiling water and bay leaf and stir.
- Bring to a boil, season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for about 20 minutes.
- When the tomato sauce is cooked, turn off the heat.
- Unwrap the bay leaf and set it aside.
- Continue the pre-preparation (step 5).
Steak Parmigiana – Finishing:
- When the steaks are cooked through and browned, remove them from the oven.
- Spread some of the tomato sauce in a refractory.
- Arrange the roasted steaks in the roasting dish and drizzle with the tomato sauce.
- Cover with sliced or grated mozzarella and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
- Take it to the preheated oven at 230°C, to gratin the cheese – about 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
FINISHING AND ASSEMBLY:
