What Are The Substitutions For A Breaded Steak?

• Instead of a beef steak, you can also make breaded steak with chicken and a pork tenderloin.

How Do You Get Breading To Stick To A Steak?

One of the struggles you have to go through is the sticking of the breading to the steak. Falling of the breading while cooking is one troublesome situation. Here are the ways you can make the breading stick to the steak:

1. Dry The Meat

If the meat is wet, you cannot make the breading stick to it for long. With a wet piece of meat, the breading will fall too easily. Make sure to pat dry the steaks well with a paper towel before dipping it into the breading. 

2. Dredge With Care

Do not avoid the significance of dredging. While you ensure the dredging of the steak with great care, following the sequence is also pivotal. Make sure you are dredging the meat slice in the flour first, then give it an egg wash, and then dip it in the breadcrumbs. 

3. Give An Egg Wash

The sticking of the dry ingredients to the steak slice is impossible, which is why an intermediary wet dipping is necessary. Do not skip the dipping of steak slices in the egg mixture. A good egg wash ensures the sticking of the breadcrumbs well. 

4. Refrigeration

Refrigeration helps a lot. After you have dipped and coated the steak in the flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps in the firmness of the coating and makes cooking easier without fearing about falling of the breading midway. 

5. Press Well

Coating the steak requires great skills and abilities. When you have coated the steak in the mixture, make sure you are pressing with your hands well. This pressing of the steak helps in the sticking of the coating very well. 

6. Do Not Overcrowd

Even if you have followed all the previous steps, you can still mess up while cooking the steaks. Look at the size of the pan or skillet before you throw steaks into it for cooking. Overcrowding the pan makes the coating fall off real quick and there is no way back at this point of time.
