Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces beef cutlets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Instructions
Begin by placing the beef cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to gently pound the cutlets to about 1/4-inch thickness.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. This will serve as the egg wash.
Dip each beef cutlet into the egg wash, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
Next, dredge the egg-coated beef cutlet in the almond flour mixture, pressing it slightly to ensure a good coating of the crumb mixture sticks to the beef. Shake off any excess.
Place the coated beef cutlets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper while you repeat the coating process with remaining cutlets.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the cutlets to the skillet. Avoid overcrowding the pan—cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the low-carb fried beef cutlets hot, garnished with your choice of herbs or a fresh side salad.
