Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh beef cuts at local butcher shops or the meat department of most grocery stores. Flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs are pantry staples available in the baking or dry goods aisles of any supermarket.
Preparation method
- Season the beef 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 bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined
- 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
- Deep-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 a perfect golden crunch. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a practical, flavorful, and satisfying meal.
