Crispy Garlic Crumb Steak

Servings:

I'm going to show you on how to make a crispy breaded steak without actually breading a steak the traditional way, which I promise, only sounds impossible. This is a great way to make a cheaper, tougher cut of meat taste like a more expensive cut. Serve over a simple salad with a lemon wedge.

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Put breadcrumbs in a small bowl.
  3. 3 Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil and garlic in a skillet and heat over medium heat until garlic sizzles, 20 to 30 seconds.
  4. 4 Strain olive oil into the breadcrumbs and mix to combine to create garlic crumbs. Allow garlic crumbs to cool.
  5. 5 Cut the steak into two (8-pounce) portions. Place one of the steaks onto a piece of plastic wrap and fold wrap over to cover meat. Pound with a tenderizer or another heavy object to 1/4 inch thickness. Repeat with the second steak.
  6. 6 Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  7. 7 Spoon cooled garlic crumb over the flattened steak to cover the surface up to the edges.
  8. 8 Fold over plastic wrap and pound again to drive garlicky breadcrumbs into the steak. Flip steak over and repeat process on the other side.
  9. 9 Heat remaining 2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add steak and cook until meat starts to sizzle, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook about 2 minutes per side for medium to medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 to140 degrees F (54 to 60 degrees C).
  10. 10 Serve and enjoy!
