Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs Thinly sliced top sirloin steak
  • 2 tbsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • ½ tsp Cumin
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 cup Cracker meal You can use soda crackers and grind them in the food processor
  • 1 cup Vegetable oil
  • Lime wedges
  • 1 bunch Parsley Optional
  • 1 Onion Optional

Instructions

  • Combine the salt, garlic powder, pepper, and cumin in a bowl. Seasons the steaks with the mixture.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl.
  • Lay out the cracker meal on a plate. If you cannot find cracker meal, use a pack (about 20) soda crackers and grind in a food processor.
  • Dip the steaks, one at a time, in the eggs to coat generously and then place on plate with the cracker meal to coat, patting each side to make sure there is an even amount of cracker meal on each side. Shake off the excess.
  • In a frying pan, heat the oil over a medium-high heat.
  • Fry the steaks on each side (about 2-3 minutes on each side) until they are golden brown.
  • Place the steaks on a pan lined with paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
  • Cut the onion and parsely and place on top of the steak to garnish. Serve along with a lime wedge.
