1 pound cubed steak, cut into pieces
1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. ground sage
2 eggs
2 Tbs. water
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs or saltine crackers crumbs

3. In second pie pan, put eggs and water. Using fork, blend well.

4. In third pie pan, put fine crumbs.

5. Heat 3-4 tablespoons of margarine in heated frying pan. If using electric fry pan, set at 300 to 325 degrees.

6. Dip each steak in flour mixture, then egg mixture, then into crumbs.
