Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef sirloin steak
- 100 grams Whole grain oats
- 50 grams Whole wheat flour
- 3 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Place the whole grain oats into a food processor and pulse until they reach a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer to a shallow dish.
Finely chop fresh parsley and oregano, then add to the oats along with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
Lightly tenderize the beef steaks with a meat mallet, ensuring they are about 1/2 inch thick.
Set up your breading station by placing the whole wheat flour in one shallow dish, the egg whites (beaten) in another, and the oat mixture in the final dish.
Coat each steak lightly with flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg whites ensuring they are fully covered.
Press each steak into the oat and herb mixture, ensuring an even coat on both sides.
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Cook each schnitzel for about 4-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked schnitzels to a plate and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete heart-healthy meal.
