Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1-1½ pound top round steaks thinly sliced/pounded to ⅛-inch thickness
  • 2.5 cups breadcrumbs
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper divided
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt divided
  • Oil for frying approximately 1.5 cup

Instructions

  • Tenderize the top round steaks to your desired thickness by pounding them with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or another heavy object. Ensure all steaks are uniformly thick.
    1-1½ pound top round steaks
  • Place the steaks on a sheet pan and season both sides with half of the salt and pepper.
    1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • Add breadcrumbs to a large bowl, and mix in the garlic powder along with the remaining salt and pepper until well combined.
    2.5 cups breadcrumbs, 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
  • Beat the eggs in a medium mixing bowl.
    3 eggs
  • Lightly dust the steaks with flour. Dip them in the beaten eggs, and then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each steak is fully coated, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the meat if necessary.
    1 cup flour
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. To safely test the oil's temperature, place the end of a wooden spoon in the oil. If bubbles form around the wood and rise to the surface, the oil is hot enough for frying.
    Oil for frying
  • Fry the steaks on both sides until they are golden brown.
  • Remove the steaks using tongs or a slotted spatula, and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve and enjoy!
