Crispy Beef Parmigiana

ingredients

• 500g beef steak (e.g. rump)
• 2 cups panko bread crumbs
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp dried oregano flakes
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1-2 cups napoletana sauce
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 2 eggs, whisked
• 3 tbsp. olive oil (for cooking)

method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced.
2. Slice beef thinly and using a meat tenderiser, tenderise the meat all over. This will allow it to become soft, so it's an important step.
3. In a small mixing bowl, add panko crumb, salt, pepper, oregano and paprika. Mix well.
4. In a separate bowl, add eggs and whisk.
5. Holding one piece of steak, dip in the egg and then place into the crumb mixture. Coat well.
6. In a non stick pan, heat olive oil over a medium to high heat.
7. Cook steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
8. Place cooked steaks onto a lined baking tray and spoon Napoletana sauce on top.
9. Top with cheese and place into the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
