The best meals are most of the time the easy ones. Just a few ingredients and you will make a perfect dinner that everyone will rave about. This steak cutlet caprese is sure to impress everyone with it's fresh flavors. It's such a great looking dish! It's my go to recipe for many meats and this steak is so tender. You can throw this together really quick, even if you worked all day or been extremely busy. This steak cuts like butter it's so tender!
When I was growing up mom always seemed to fry everything.
I got away from it as I got older and wanted to bake everything.
Today I treated myself and went for frying.
Yes, I know it's not the healthiest way to eat anything but I always go back to thinking how mom and dad lived well into their 80's and that's all they ate!
Today I made mom's famous easy cutlet recipe.
I used canola oil and I made it caprese style.
I know she would have loved what I did to this delicious friend steak if she was still here.
It's bursting with fresh flavors, the meat is tender as could be.
You have to splurge once in awhile and I did today! Using canola oil is less fat. Drain them on paper towels to absorb the oil.
I love using plum tomatoes and then the mozzarella with a touch of olive oil and vinegar.
I used lemon juice today to make the photo look prettier.
I prefer to eat this with an aged balsamic vinegar.
It makes everything taste better, mine was 18 year aged and very sweet.
The smell still lingers in the house after you fry the meat and makes my mouth water even after I ate!
So go ahead and splurge! Mom used this using it on chicken, fish, cube steaks, venison and steak. I love them all.
If you do decide you prefer to bake these Steak Cutlets instead of fry, they come out delicious also.
Drizzle the cutlets with olive oil. Place on parchment paper and bake at 400 degrees until crispy.
If they start to dry out a little add some white wine to keep them moist. Enjoy!
