Preparation method

  1. Season the steaks with salt, black pepper, and mashed garlic, if desired

  6. Dip the seasoned steak into the beaten egg mixture
  7. Transfer the steak to the plate with breadcrumbs, covering the entire surface evenly
  8. Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat
  9. Fry the breaded steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown
  10. Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil

Observations

Breaded steak is an iconic dish, loved for its crispy texture and comforting flavor. Making this delicacy at home is simpler than it seems, and the result is guaranteed to please everyone.

For a perfect breaded steak, the choice of meat cut is fundamental. Opt for tender cuts that ensure internal juiciness, while the breadcrumb coating becomes golden and crispy. It's a versatile option that pairs well with various types of sauces and side dishes.
