Where to find ingredients
Beef steaks can be found at local butcher shops or supermarket meat counters. Eggs, flour, and breadcrumbs are standard pantry staples available at any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Season the steaks with salt, black pepper and crushed garlic if desired
- Let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes to absorb the seasonings
- In a deep plate, beat the eggs until smooth
- Prepare two shallow plates: one with wheat flour and the other with breadcrumbs
- Dredge each steak in wheat flour, lightly coating both sides
- Dip the seasoned steak into the beaten egg mixture
- Transfer the steak to the plate with breadcrumbs, coating the entire surface evenly
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat
- Fry the breaded steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown
- Remove the steaks from the frying pan and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil
Observations
Use tender cuts of beef to ensure the interior stays succulent while the exterior reaches the perfect golden-brown crisp. It is an excellent choice for a practical, flavorful meal.
