  • 4 slices mozzarella
  • ½ cup tomato coulis

Instructions

  • Season the beef with salt, pepper, parmesan, garlic and oregano, rubbing well with the hands so the meat soaks up the flavors.

  • Heat a large volume of vegetable oil in a frying pan to a temperature of 340 F (170ºC).
  • Fry the beef cutlets on both sides until they are golden brown.
  • Set them aside on a plate lined with paper towel to remove excess oil.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F (180ºC).

  • Bake 5 minutes in the oven or until everything is browned.
  • Serve with French fries or white rice and a green salad.
