Where to find ingredients
You can find beef steaks at local butcher shops or supermarket meat counters. Standard pantry staples like flour, breadcrumbs, and seasonings are available in the baking or spice aisles of any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Season the steaks with salt, black pepper, and crushed garlic, if using.
- Allow the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes to absorb the seasonings.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
- Prepare two shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour and another with breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each steak in the all-purpose flour, lightly coating both sides.
- Dip the seasoned steak into the beaten egg mixture.
- Transfer the steak to the dish 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 any excess oil.
Observations
Use tender cuts of beef to ensure the inside remains succulent while the exterior reaches the perfect golden crisp. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a practical meal that is full of flavor.
