Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Beef cube steak
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 lemon (for serving) Fresh lemon wedges
Instructions
Prepare your breading station by setting up three shallow dishes. In the first dish, add the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third dish, combine the Italian-style breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the beef cube steaks dry with paper towels. Working one at a time, lightly dredge each steak in the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Next, dip the floured steak into the egg mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
Finally, press the steak into the breadcrumb mixture, firmly coating both sides. Set the breaded steaks on a clean plate and repeat with the remaining steaks.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should shimmer but not smoke.
Carefully add the breaded steaks to the skillet in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip them gently.
Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the steaks.
