Ingredients
Instructions
- Flatten the steaks into thin slices, about 1/4 inch or thinner.
- Mix the beaten eggs and grated Parmesan cheese together in a shallow dish.
- Dip each steak slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
- Then, coat the steak in flavored bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat oil in a skillet over hot medium-high heat.
- Fry the breaded steak slices quickly until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve hot with fried potatoes, spaghetti, or a fresh salad.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the steak in your favorite spices or herbs for a few hours before breading. If you don't have flavored bread crumbs, you can mix plain bread crumbs with Italian seasoning or garlic powder. Use a meat mallet to ensure even thickness for better cooking results. For a lighter option, substitute the oil with a non-stick cooking spray.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the breaded steak hot alongside fried potatoes or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It also pairs beautifully with spaghetti tossed in marinara sauce, creating a delightful combination. For a lighter option, consider serving it with a side of steamed vegetables or a refreshing cucumber salad. Don't forget to browse more American recipes for additional meal ideas.
