Italian Panko Steak Recipe

Maybe it’s a sign of the times or something. When I was grocery shopping recently, I picked up a box of Panko crumbs and bought them. Only later did I realize that they were in fact Italian panko.

Italian panko?!?

They lacked the light texture of regular Japanese panko and were considerably larger, thicker, etc. But when used in the right application, I did find that they are pretty good.

Still. Italian panko? That is so backward. I guess that is what I get for buying the only box I saw — by Progresso.

In any case, this is a quick and easy meal to make (in fact, I pulled together the mashed potatoes, corn and steak in about 30 minutes). Great for a quick weeknight dinner.
