Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces beef sirloin steaks
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Begin by placing the beef sirloin steaks between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese. Add salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mixture and stir until blended.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Dip each steak first in the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated, and then press both sides into the almond flour mixture. Make sure the steaks are well covered with the coating.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the pan is hot.
Carefully place the coated beef steaks into the skillet. Fry each steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the schnitzels from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Keto Beef Schnitzel immediately, garnished with lemon wedges or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
