Instructions
1
Prep
Pound beef sirloin between plastic sheets to 0.25-inch thickness. Season with salt, pepper, garlic, chili powder, and cumin on both sides.
2
Wait
Let seasoned cutlet rest uncovered in fridge 15 minutes for flavors to penetrate.
3
Prep
Set up three shallow dishes with flour, beaten egg, and panko-parmesan mix. Dredge cutlet in flour, then egg, then press into panko until fully coated.
4
Fry
Heat vegetable oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry cutlet 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
5
Plate
Drain cutlet on paper towels. Fry second egg 2–3 minutes until whites set and yolk edges firm. Warm black beans. Mix sour cream and lime juice. Set cutlet on plate, top with fried egg, spoon black beans alongside, drizzle with lime crema, scatter cotija and cilantro over top, and serve with lime wedge.
