Ingredients
Scale
- 1 T-bone steak (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme, optional)
- 1 pound large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Season the Steak: Start by patting the T-bone steak dry with paper towels. This helps with the sear! Season it generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. If you have fresh herbs, add those in for a burst of flavor.
- Heat the Pan: In a skillet or grill, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. You want that sizzle when the steak hits the pan!
- Cook the Steak: Place the steak in the pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the time based on your desired doneness. Once cooked, let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the steak tender and juicy.
- Set Up Breading Station: While your steak rests, create a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour mixed with paprika and cayenne, one for the beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs seasoned with a bit of salt.
- Bread the Prawns: Dip each prawn in the flour, shake off excess, then into the egg, and finally coat in breadcrumbs.
- Fry the Prawns: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully drop in the breaded prawns, frying in batches until they are golden and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Notes
Quality ingredients matter for the best flavor. Allowing the steak to rest after cooking is crucial for juiciness.
