Ingredients

• 4 pieces Thinly sliced beef cutlets (top round or sirloin)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Avocado oil (or another high-heat oil)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Lay the beef cutlets on a clean surface and sprinkle both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the dredging station: In one shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and paprika. Mix well. In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully blended.

Step 3

Dip each beef cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, transfer to the almond flour mixture and press the coating firmly onto both sides of the cutlet. Shake off any excess coating and set the breaded beef aside on a clean plate.

Step 4

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking. You can test this by dropping a tiny bit of almond flour into the oil—if it sizzles, it’s ready.

Step 5

Fry the breaded beef cutlets in the hot oil, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each cutlet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown, and the beef is cooked through.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.

Step 7

Serve the Keto Traditional Milanesa warm, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges for a zesty finish if desired.
