Breaded Beef

Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef rump roast
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons water
• 4 cups dry bread crumbs , or more as needed
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil , or as needed

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the beef roast into the freezer for several hours, until very firm and almost frozen. Slice the beef about 1/8 inch thick across the grain. You can also ask the butcher to slice it very thinly for you.

2. 2

   Whisk the eggs and water together in a bowl. Spread the bread crumbs out onto a large sheet of aluminum foil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and Parmesan cheese. Mix all the crumb ingredients together until well combined. Dip each piece of beef into the egg mixture, then thoroughly coat with crumbs. Place the coated slices onto a sheet of foil on a baking sheet, and separate them with waxed paper as you dip and coat the beef.

3. 3

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet until shimmering, and pan-fry the beef slices until golden brown, about 2 minutes on the first side and 1 minute on the second side. Fry 2 or 3 slices per batch.
