Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces beef sirloin steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 lemon wedges
Instructions
Place the beef sirloin steaks between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound each steak to about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Season both sides of each steak evenly with the spice mixture.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with almond milk, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each steak in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the egg mixture, ensuring it's completely coated, and then press into the breadcrumbs until fully covered.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped in.
Gently lay each schnitzel in the skillet and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the schnitzels from the skillet and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the schnitzels hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
