Ingredients

• 4 pieces beef cutlets
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing the beef cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to gently pound the cutlets to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. This will serve as the egg wash.

Step 4

Dip each beef cutlet into the egg wash, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow any excess to drip off.

Step 5

Next, dredge the egg-coated beef cutlet in the almond flour mixture, pressing it slightly to ensure a good coating of the crumb mixture sticks to the beef. Shake off any excess.

Step 6

Place the coated beef cutlets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper while you repeat the coating process with remaining cutlets.

Step 7

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the cutlets to the skillet. Avoid overcrowding the pan—cook in batches if necessary.

Step 8

Fry the cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Step 9

Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the low-carb fried beef cutlets hot, garnished with your choice of herbs or a fresh side salad.
