Ingredients:

  • 4 Beef Top Sirloin Steaks (about 1 pound)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Aji Verde:
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 3 jalapeno peppers
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cooking:

  1. Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper in shallow dish. Whisk egg and water together in shallow bowl until blended. Combine bread crumbs, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and garlic powder in separate shallow dish.
  2. Place beef Steaks between sheets of plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Dip each steak in flour mixture to coat both sides lightly; shake off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then in bread crumb mixture to coat.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place 2 steaks in skillet; cook 5 minutes or until coating is crisp and golden and beef is medium rare (145°F), turning once. (Do not overcook.) Remove steaks; keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil, if needed, and steaks.
  4. Meanwhile, for aji verde, combine sauce ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Serve with steaks.
