**Breaded Steak Cutlets**
*Ingredients:*
– 4 beef sirloin steaks, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Vegetable oil, for frying
– Lemon wedges, for serving
*Instructions:*
1. Begin by preparing your workstation. Set up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Take each pounded steak and coat it first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured steak into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Lastly, dredge the steak in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking. You can test if it’s ready by dropping a small breadcrumb in—if it sizzles, you’re good to go.
4. Carefully place the breaded steaks in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the cutlets in batches if necessary. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Once the cutlets are cooked through and crispy on the outside, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
6. Serve the Breaded Steak Cutlets hot with a side of your choice. They pair exceptionally well with mashed potatoes, green beans, or a simple garden salad. Squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over the cutlets just before serving to add a bright and tangy flavor.
7. Enjoy these Breaded Steak Cutlets with your loved ones and savor every bite of this comforting and delicious meal. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply treating yourself, this recipe is sure to impress with its delightful flavors and satisfying crunch. Bon appétit!
