Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Start by preparing the beef sirloin. Slice the beef into 4 equal pieces, about 1/2-inch thick each. Use a meat mallet to pound each piece gently until they are about 1/4-inch thick.
In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully blended. Set aside.
In another shallow dish, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the spices are distributed evenly throughout the almond flour.
Dip each beef cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dredge them in the almond flour mixture to coat thoroughly. Gently press the almond flour mixture onto the beef to create a nice crust.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the beef cutlets to the skillet.
Cook the cutlets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; you may need to cook them in batches.
Once cooked, transfer the beef cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Let the cutlets rest for a minute or two before serving to enhance their juiciness and flavor.
Serve these Whole30 Classic Beef Cutlets with your choice of compliant sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, for a complete meal.
