Ingredients
- 2 beef steaks (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- Lemon wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Breading:
- In one bowl, place flour.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs.
- In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Steaks:
- Dredge each steak in flour, making sure it’s fully coated.
- Dip in the beaten eggs, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure it sticks well.
Fry the Steaks:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry each steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Rest the Steaks:
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve:
- Serve hot with lemon wedges for a fresh, tangy flavor.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can season the flour with garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or a salad to complete the meal.
- To make the recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and cornstarch instead of flour.
