Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin steak (boneless)
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 60 ml Milk
- 200 grams Breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef sirloin steak and cut it into thin, even strips or medallions, approximately 1.5 cm thick.
Place the beef pieces between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet to slightly tenderize and flatten them. Set aside.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls or plates. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each piece of beef in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured beef into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely covered, and allow the excess to drip off.
Coat the beef in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere evenly.
Heat about 1 centimeter of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 175°C (350°F). You can test the heat by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle and turn golden brown in about 15 seconds.
Carefully place the breaded beef pieces into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is golden brown and cooked through. Use tongs to flip the pieces halfway through cooking.
Transfer the cooked beef to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces, a fresh salad, or a side of mashed potatoes or rice.
