ingredients
-
For the marinade
- 3 garlic cloves, minced to a paste
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
-
For the steaks
- 4 top sirloin steaks, about 6 ounces each
-
For the breading
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup fine dry breadcrumb
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 4 tablespoons light olive oil, for sauteeing
- 3 tablespoons finely minced white onions, for garnish
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
directions
- Thoroughly combine all the marinade ingredients in a large shallow dish. Gently pound out the steaks with a flat-sided meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Add to the dish and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry. Place the eggs in a shallow bowl and mix the bread crumbs with the parsley on a plate. Dredge the steaks first in the egg wash and then in the bread crumbs, coating them well. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy saute pan or skillet and saute 2 steaks at a time over medium-hight heat for about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium, and until the bread crumb coating is golden brown. Repeat for the remaining steaks.
- To serve, place the steaks on serving plates and garnish with a small mound of onion topped with the parsley.

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
