Ingredients
- 4 pieces Beef cutlets (thinly sliced, such as round or sirloin)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Avocado oil or olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Set up a breading station by whisking the eggs in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Pat the beef cutlets dry with paper towels to ensure they adhere well to the breading. Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 3
Next, dredge the egg-coated beef cutlet into the almond and coconut flour mixture. Press the crumbs gently onto the surface of the meat to ensure even coverage. Repeat with all the cutlets.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado or olive oil. Allow the oil to get hot but not smoking, then carefully place the breaded beef cutlets into the skillet in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 5
Cook each cutlet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use tongs to flip them gently.
Step 6
Once cooked, place the cutlets on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve immediately with a side of fresh mixed greens, roasted vegetables, or Whole30-compliant homemade chimichurri sauce for added flavor.
