Ingredients
- 4 pieces beef sirloin steaks
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup cooking oil (coconut oil or avocado oil)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place each beef sirloin steak between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a resealable bag. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the steaks to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the low-carb breading.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.
Step 4
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat thoroughly until a small piece of the coating sizzles upon contact.
Step 5
Dip each piece of pounded steak into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, and then press it into the almond flour mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
Step 6
Carefully lay the coated steak into the hot oil. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Fry each schnitzel for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the coating and frying process with the remaining steaks.
Step 9
Serve the schnitzels hot, garnished with chopped parsley and accompanied by fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
