If there is anything better than a cheesy, buttery steak, I don’t know what it would be. The golden crust in this Parmesan Crusted Steak is a bit unexpected, but this is one of those crowd pleasing recipes that everyone loves. I like to serve this with a simple salad made of peppery arugula, lemon, and olive oil.
Parmesan Crusted Steak is Always a Hit!
One of my biggest goals with recipes on this website has been to create recipes that your whole family will love.
For years I've cooked different meals to keep everyone happy. Often one for the kids and another for the adults. Sometimes even separate things for the kids.
They are picky, I am picky, and hubby is picky…it is exhausting.
A little over a year ago, when I started this website, I decided enough was enough. I was going to find a way to make everyone happy with one meal.
The recipes on this website are fueled by that desire, and this Parmesan Crusted Steak Recipe is the perfect example of success.
This dish is one that all three kids beg for. (Much like my Keto Meatball Casserole, Chicken Bacon Ranch Casserole, and Chicken Fried Steak.) I make Parmesan Crusted Ribeye for hubby because that is what he prefers (and it doesn't take extra work) and use strip steaks for the rest of the family.
Anytime I can keep everyone happy without a lot of effort, I consider that winning!
