Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 500 grams of beef (sirloin or tenderloin), sliced into 1/2 inch thick cutlets
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Slice the beef into thin cutlets about 1/2 inch thick to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
- Season the beef: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt evenly on both sides of the beef cutlets. Allow them to marinate for 15 to 30 minutes to enhance flavor absorption.
- Bread the cutlets: Dip each cutlet first into the beaten eggs to moisten, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs to create a crunchy crust.
- Heat the oil and fry: Warm the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded cutlets for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown, crispy texture.
- Serve: Place the fried beef cutlets on a serving platter and pair them with your choice of sides and sauces for a delicious meal.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh breadcrumbs or panko for extra crunch.
- Ensure the oil is hot before frying to prevent soggy cutlets.
- To keep cutlets warm while frying batches, place them on a wire rack set over a baking sheet in a low oven.
- Adjust seasoning to taste if you prefer more or less spice.
- These cutlets can be paired with mashed potatoes, salad, or steamed vegetables for balanced meals.
