Ingredients

• 4 pieces Beef steaks (thinly sliced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Pat dry the beef steaks with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three separate containers: one with flour, one with the egg mixture, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 4

Dredge each steak in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, coating it evenly. Finally, press the steak into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully covered. Set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat to about 350°F (175°C). To test if the oil is ready, drop in a small piece of bread—if it sizzles and browns in about 30 seconds, it’s ready.

Step 6

Carefully place one or two breaded steaks into the hot oil, depending on the size of your pan. Avoid overcrowding the skillet.

Step 7

Fry each steak for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining steaks, making sure the oil maintains a consistent temperature.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges, and enjoy with a side of rice, salad, or fries.
