   Preheat the oven to 350°F In a shallow dish, stir together the flour, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and water with a fork. In a third bowl or shallow dish, mix together the bread crumbs, 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese, basil and oregano.

Dredge the cube steaks in the seasoned flour, dip into the egg mixture, and coat with the bread crumb mixture. Place them in the skillet, and fry just until browned on each side. Arrange steaks in a single layer in a greased casserole dish, top with marinara sauce and cover with foil.
