- 1 pound beef
- 1/2 pound turkey bacon
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup tonkatsu sauce
- Prepare the beef by pounding it until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
- Season both sides of the beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Set up three bowls for the breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Dip each piece of beef first in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, then fry the breaded beef until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Cook the turkey bacon until crispy in another pan.
- Serve the beef and bacon over rice, drizzled with tonkatsu sauce.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the beef in soy sauce for an hour before cooking.
- Feel free to add vegetables like broccoli or carrots for a complete meal.
