Recipes:
**Herb-Crusted Sirloin Steaks**
**INGREDIENTS**
½ teaspoon dried
rosemary
1 teaspoon dried
thyme
½ teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated
Romano cheese
4 sirloin steaks
(6 ounces each)
1 egg, lightly beaten
⅓ cup olive oil
**SERVES 4**
**Make Ahead**
You can prepare the herb
and crumb mixture up to
8 hours ahead. Keep in a
sealed plastic bag until
ready to use.
**VARIATION**
The herb crust is
delicious on many
kinds of meat. Try
it on pork cutlets
or chicken breasts.
**1** Mix rosemary, thyme,
sage, salt, pepper,
bread crumbs and Romano
in a shallow bowl.
**2** Dip steaks in beaten
egg, then in bread
crumb mixture.
**3** Heat oil in a large
skillet. Cook steaks
for 5 minutes on each
side for medium.
**4** Place steaks on a
serving platter.
Let stand for 5 minutes
before serving.
Make It Quicker
• Instead of cooking
the steaks in batches
in a single skillet,
save time by using
2 skillets.
• Serve the steaks
on heated plates—a
cold plate will cause
the crust to become
soggy quickly.
