Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef sirloin
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips of about 1cm width. Pat the strips dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, mix together the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
In a separate shallow dish, scatter the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs.
Drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce and lemon juice over the beef strips. Toss to combine, ensuring every strip is coated.
Dip each beef strip first into the cornstarch mixture, ensuring even coating on all sides.
Then press each strip into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure breadcrumbs adhere well.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, place the coated beef strips in the skillet. Pan-fry for about 3 minutes on each side or until the strips are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer cooked strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately, pairing well with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
