Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean beef sirloin
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips of about 1cm width. Pat the strips dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish, scatter the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce and lemon juice over the beef strips. Toss to combine, ensuring every strip is coated.

Step 5

Dip each beef strip first into the cornstarch mixture, ensuring even coating on all sides.

Step 6

Then press each strip into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure breadcrumbs adhere well.

Step 7

Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, place the coated beef strips in the skillet. Pan-fry for about 3 minutes on each side or until the strips are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Transfer cooked strips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately, pairing well with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
