Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh beef cuts at local butcher shops or grocery store meat counters. Flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs are pantry staples available at any supermarket.
Preparation method
- Season the steaks with salt, black pepper, and crushed garlic, if using
- Let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes to absorb the seasonings
- In a deep bowl, beat the eggs until smooth
- Prepare two shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour and another with breadcrumbs
- Dredge each steak in the 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 excess oil
Observations
Choose tender cuts of beef to ensure the inside remains succulent while the exterior reaches the perfect golden brown. This is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a practical, flavorful meal.
