Where to find ingredients
Beef cuts are available at local butcher shops or supermarket meat counters. You can find all-purpose flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in the baking or staples aisle of any grocery store. If you do not have breadcrumbs, panko can be used as a crunchy substitute.
Preparation method
- Season the steaks with salt, black pepper, and crushed garlic, if using.
- Let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes to absorb the seasonings.
- In a deep bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and well combined.
- Prepare two shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour and another with breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each steak in the flour, coating both sides lightly and shaking off any excess.
- Dip the seasoned steak into the beaten egg mixture until fully coated.
- Transfer the steak to the dish with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even, uniform surface.
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the breaded steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
- Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain the excess oil.
