Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) beef sirloin steaks
- 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 pieces (minced) garlic cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups olive oil
- 1 piece (cut into wedges) lemon
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Place the sirloin steaks between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently with a meat mallet until each steak is about 1/4-inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped parsley, and minced garlic. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth. Place the flour in a third dish.
Dredge each steak first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the breaded steaks in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Sicilian Steak hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
