    Preparation Steps

    1

    Gently pound the beef tenderloin slices to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

    2

    Prepare the breading station: place the flour in the first shallow dish, the beaten eggs mixed with milk in the second, and the breadcrumbs in the third.

    3

    Dredge each steak slice in the flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

    4

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Test the oil's temperature with a small piece of breadcrumb – if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready for frying.

    5

    Fry the breaded steak slices for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.

    6

    Transfer the fried steak slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

    7

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Mash them with butter, salt, and freshly chopped parsley for a delicious side dish.

    8

    To serve, place the country-fried steak slices on a plate, alongside a generous serving of mashed potatoes and a fresh green salad. Garnish with chopped parsley.
