Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces beef sirloin steaks
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place beef sirloin steaks between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a mallet to about 1/4 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, almond flour, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk and egg whites until well combined.
Dip each piece of pounded beef into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Then, dredge the beef in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure the crumbs adhere to both sides.
Place the crumbed beef on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray both sides with cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, flip the beef schnitzels, and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the low-fat crumbed beef schnitzel with your preferred side dishes like a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
