Ingredients

  • Beef Cutlet4 pieces
  • Eggs2 beaten
  • Breadcrumbs200 g
  • Parsley2 tbsp chopped
  • Garlic2 cloves minced
  • Saltto taste
  • Pepperto taste
  • Vegetable oilfor frying

Instructions

  1. Season the cutlets

    3 min

    Begin by seasoning the beef cutlets evenly with salt and pepper. Make sure to cover both sides to enhance the flavor, allowing the seasoning to penetrate the meat for a few minutes before moving on to the next step.

  2. Prepare the breadcrumb mixture

    3 min

    In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, and minced garlic. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors, creating a flavorful coating for the cutlets.

  3. Coat the cutlets

    3 min

    Take each seasoned cutlet and first dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, press each cutlet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even and thorough coating on both sides for a crispy texture when fried.

  4. Heat the oil

    2 min

    In a large skillet, pour in enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom, about 1/4 inch deep, and heat it over medium heat. To test the oil, drop in a small piece of breadcrumb; it should sizzle immediately when the oil is ready.

  5. Fry the cutlets

    20 min

    Carefully place the breaded cutlets in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, achieving a crispy exterior.

  6. Plate and serve

    1 min

    Once cooked, remove the cutlets from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve the hot cutlets immediately, garnished with lemon wedges or alongside a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
