Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a shallow bowl, soak 2 slices of crustless white bread in 1/4 cup milk until soft, about 5 minutes. Mash into a paste.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine 12 oz beef sirloin cutlets, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 3 tbsp olive oil, and the soaked bread paste. Mix well to evenly coat the beef.
  3. Step 3: Cover and marinate the beef mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Step 4: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each beef cutlet for 1-2 minutes per side until browned.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes until the beef is cooked through and tender.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving with your choice of sides.
