1

Separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a large bowl and the yolks in a separate bowl for later use.

2

Add a little less than 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the egg whites, along with a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of water, then whisk until frothy.

3

Place the cube steaks into the egg white mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

4

Season the steaks with salt and black pepper, massaging the mixture into the meat.

5

Let the steaks marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours with the baking soda mixture.

6

In a separate bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of pork rinds, 6 tablespoons of egg white powder, and 2 tablespoons of unflavored beef gelatin until there are no clumps.

7

Add 3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the breading mixture and mix well.

8

Take the marinated cube steaks and lay them in the breading mixture, using one hand to sprinkle the breading over the top while using the other hand to press it down with your knuckles to ensure it sticks.

9

Turn the steaks over and repeat the breading process, ensuring they are well coated and shaking off any excess.

10

Let the breaded steaks rest for a minute to allow them to release some liquid, then sprinkle more breading mixture over the top to create a thicker coating.

11

Press the additional breading down onto the steaks to ensure it adheres well.
