Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Beef sirloin steaks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil or olive oil for frying
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Place the beef sirloin steaks between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the steaks to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until evenly combined.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each steak into the beaten eggs, ensuring both sides are coated.
Next, coat the egg-dipped steaks with the almond flour mixture, pressing it onto the steak to ensure it sticks. Set aside the crumbed schnitzels on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil or olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the schnitzels into the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the schnitzels from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the low carb crumbed beef schnitzels hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
