Frying is a cooking technique that can make just about anything taste 100 times better. Last night we had fried beef cutlets for dinner. This is one of my all time favorites.

Easy.

Quick.

Great leftovers.

Total no brainer.

The best cut of meat to use is Top Round Cutlets. They are thin and cook in minutes. To begin, cut each one in half. Then beat three eggs with salt, pepper and garlic powder – about a half tsp of each.

Place the cutlets in the eggs, stir to coat each one well, and refrigerate. This can be done up to the day before.

When ready to fry, dredge each cutlet through dried bread crumbs and place in skillet with heated vegetable or peanut oil.

Fry about one minute, flip, and allow to fry another minute or so. Transfer to paper towels or a wire rack over a sheet pan to drain some of the oil. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, and anything else from hot peppers, to rapini, to fresh tomatoes, to just a salad.

FYI they are also great the next day in a crusty roll..especially with rapini.

Buon Appetito!
