Where to find ingredients
You can find beef cuts such as sirloin or tenderloin at any local butcher shop or supermarket meat counter. All-purpose flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs are standard pantry staples available at any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Season the steaks with salt, black pepper and crushed garlic if you wish
- Let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavours
- In a deep bowl, beat the eggs until smooth
- Prepare two shallow plates: one with plain flour and the other with breadcrumbs
- Dredge each steak in the plain 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 pan and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil
Observations
Use tender cuts of beef to ensure the inside remains juicy while the exterior achieves the perfect golden brown. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a practical and flavorful meal.
