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!
