Best Breaded Beef Tenderloin Recipes

HERB-CRUSTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; set an ovenproof wire rack inside baking sheet. Pat beef dry. Place on wire rack; let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375ºF. Stir together mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Combine breadcrumbs, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a medium bowl; stir in oil. Brush mustard mixture evenly all over beef. Carefully press breadcrumb mixture all over beef to fully coat.
• Bake in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of beef registers 120ºF, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven; rest 30 minutes. (The beef will continue to cook as it rests.) Cut beef into ¾ to 1-inch-thick slices, and serve.

BREADED STEAKS

Steps:

• Flatten steaks to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut into serving-sized pieces; set aside. Place flour in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Place bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl. Coat steaks with flour, then dip into egg mixture and coat with crumbs. , In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook steaks in oil until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°, medium, 140°, medium-well, 145°), 2-3 minutes on each side.

BREADED BEEF

Steps:

• Place the beef roast into the freezer for several hours, until very firm and almost frozen. Slice the beef about 1/8 inch thick across the grain. You can also ask the butcher to slice it very thinly for you.
• Whisk the eggs and water together in a bowl. Spread the bread crumbs out onto a large sheet of aluminum foil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and Parmesan cheese. Mix all the crumb ingredients together until well combined. Dip each piece of beef into the egg mixture, then thoroughly coat with crumbs. Place the coated slices onto a sheet of foil on a baking sheet, and separate them with waxed paper as you dip and coat the beef.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet until shimmering, and pan-fry the beef slices until golden brown, about 2 minutes on the first side and 1 minute on the second side. Fry 2 or 3 slices per batch.

SICILIAN STYLE STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a broiler pan.
• Stir the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, and garlic powder together in a shallow dish such as a pie plate. Pour the olive oil into a separate shallow dish. Dip the t-bone steaks in the olive oil on both sides; allow excess to drip off. Press the steaks into the bread crumb mixture, and place onto the prepared broiler pan.
• Bake on the middle rack in the preheated oven until the steaks have cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 15 minutes for medium. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.

BREADED BEEF

Steps:

• Have your butcher slice the rump roast on the lunch meat slicer (tell him a little thicker than see-through).
• This recipe is nice because it's sliced thin, it's always tender so you can get away with using a little cheaper piece of meat.
• If you can't get it sliced this way, freezer meat for a few hours (about 1/2 frozen) and slice thin slices.
• Mix the eggs and water in a large bowl.
• On a LARGE sheet of foil--mix bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt and grated cheese (garlic and grated cheese-add however much to your taste--these are general measurements). Dip RAW sliced beef in egg and than bread crumbs (I put them on another large sheet of foil-2 pieces side by side and than I separate them with wax paper because I always make double this recipe and freeze some and this makes it easier to get them apart).
• If you run out of egg or bread crumb mixture just make a little more.
• Heat oil in large frying pan, put 2-3 slices in pan and fry until just browned (about 2 minutes the 1 st side and 1 minute the 2nd side).
• Drain on paper towels.
• Add more oil to the pan as needed.
• Serve with a squeeze of sliced lemon. Fantastic hot or room temperature.
