Main Ingredients

Breading Mixture

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a large bowl, combine lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef steaks and mix well to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Breading Process

  1. 2

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

  2. 3

    Bread the Steaks

    Remove the marinated steaks from the refrigerator. Dredge each steak in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Fry the Steaks

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded steaks. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust cooking time as needed depending on the thickness of the steaks.

  2. 5

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Bistec Empanizado hot, with your choice of sides such as rice, beans, or a fresh salad.
