- Beat steaks between two sheets of non-stick baking paper, using a rolling pin, to the thickness of two £1 coins. Put the flour, eggs and crumbs into 3 shallow bowls. Mix the nuts, thyme and zest into the crumbs, then season.
- Coat the steaks in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then coat in the egg, and finally the crumbs, Again, shaking off any excess. Put the steaks on a large plate.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan until hot. Fry 2 steaks for 2 mins each side until firm and crisp. Add a little butter for the final few secs to coat. Set aside, and repeat (keep steaks warm in the oven). Serve with salad and lemon wedges.
A crispier coating
Dip thin-cut fillets or bite-sized pieces first in flour, then in beaten egg and finally in breadcrumbs. Doing this a stage at a time means you won't get clumpy crumbs. Fresh breadcrumbs give a lighter coating, dried crumbs (or raspings) are more crunchy. Many restaurant chefs use the Panko style - light, crisp Japanese crumbs.
Making breadcrumbs
For fresh crumbs, cut the crusts off white bread and blitz in a food processor. For dried crumbs, lay crustless white bread directly onto oven shelves and heat on low for around 2-3 hrs until brittle. If you want a more golden colour then heat at 150C/fan 130C/gas 2. Place the bread in a thick food bag, seal and bash with a rolling pin. Larger amounts can be whizzed in a food processor.
