In a large heavy skillet with lid, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot,  
add the onions and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Season the onions with salt and  
pepper. Peel and dice the eggplant. Stir in the eggplant and continue to  
saute for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves and garlic. Season the  
mixture with salt and cayenne. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low.  
Simmer the tomato and eggplant mixture for about 45 minutes, stirring  
occasionally. Stir in the parsley and set aside. Season the flour with salt  
and cayenne. Season each steak with salt and cayenne. Dredge the steaks in  
the seasoned flour. Dip each in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off.  
Dredge the steaks in the flour for a second time, coating each side  
completely. In a large saute pan, heat the vegetable oil. When the oil is  
hot but not smoking, gently lay the steaks in the hot oil. Pan−fry the  
steaks for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the  
steaks from the oil and drain on a paper−lined plate. Season the steaks with  
salt and cayenne. To serve, spoon the smothered tomatoes and stewed eggplant  
in the center of each plate and top with the steak. This recipe yields 4  
servings.
