Ingredients

1 pound top-sirloin steak, trimmed
•
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients.
2
Put breadcrumbs in a small bowl.
3
Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil and garlic in a skillet and heat over medium heat until garlic sizzles, 20 to 30 seconds.
4
Strain olive oil into the breadcrumbs and mix to combine to create garlic crumbs. Allow garlic crumbs to cool.
5
Cut the steak into two (8-pounce) portions. Place one of the steaks onto a piece of plastic wrap and fold wrap over to cover meat. Pound with a tenderizer or another heavy object to 1/4 inch thickness. Repeat with the second steak.
6
Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
7
Spoon cooled garlic crumb over the flattened steak to cover the surface up to the edges.
8
Fold over plastic wrap and pound again to drive garlicky breadcrumbs into the steak. Flip steak over and repeat process on the other side.
9
Heat remaining 2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add steak and cook until meat starts to sizzle, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook about 2 minutes per side for medium to medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 to140 degrees F (54 to 60 degrees C).
