In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, and the egg. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Add black pepper and paprika to the beef mixture, stirring to ensure even seasoning throughout.
Shape the beef mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, flattening them slightly to form cutlets.
Pour the low sodium breadcrumbs onto a plate or shallow bowl. Dip each beef cutlet into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere to all sides of the cutlet.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded cutlets into the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Add a bit more oil if needed between batches.
Once cooked, transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy beef cutlets hot, optionally garnishing with additional chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
