Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 1/4 inch thick) Thinly sliced beef cutlets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup (for frying) Avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the breading station by whisking the eggs and heavy cream together in a shallow bowl until smooth.
In another shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the beef cutlets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture, ensuring the breading adheres properly.
Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture, coating it thoroughly. Let any excess egg drip off.
Press the egg-coated cutlet into the almond flour-Parmesan mixture, making sure it is evenly coated on both sides. Press gently to help the coating stick.
Heat the avocado oil or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Fry the breaded cutlets in batches, cooking them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the crust is golden brown and the beef is cooked through.
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve with lemon wedges for added brightness.
