Ingredients

  • 4 6-8 ounce pieces of steak trimmed of fat
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Extra garlic powder to taste optional
  • salt, pepper
  • 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese & extra garlic powder if using.
  2. Season steaks with salt & pepper, then coat each piece of steak in breadcrumb mixture, followed by beaten egg, then breadcrumbs again. Set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Sautee breaded steaks on both sides until golden, then continue cooking to the desired doneness—I recommend using an instant read thermometer to test.
  4. Serve hot.

Notes

  • If you are using a very thick piece of meat, you can transfer it to a 375 degree preheated oven and cook to the desired temperature there.  If your frying pan is oven-safe you put it directly in the oven; otherwise you will need to transfer to another pan.
  • If you have shredded versus finely grated cheese, you can chop it finer in a blender or food processor so it will combine better with bread crumbs.
  • You can use this recipe for Italian breadcrumbs to make your own, using bread and dried herbs.
