The best meals are most of the time the easy ones.


Just a few ingredients and you will make a perfect dinner that everyone will rave about.


This steak cutlet caprese is sure to impress everyone with its fresh flavors. It's such a great looking dish!


It's my go-to recipe for many types of meat and this steak is so tender.


You can throw this together really quick, even if you worked all day or been extremely busy. This steak cuts like butter it's so tender!


These come out great with a drizzle of olive oil and baked, fried or even in an air fryer!


Try this recipe with chicken, fish and even with venison!

Fried or Baked?

When I was growing up mom always seemed to fry everything.


I got away from it as I got older and wanted to bake everything.


Today I treated myself and went for frying.


Yes, I know it's not the healthiest way to eat anything but I always go back to thinking how mom and dad lived well into their 80's and that's all they ate!

Mom's Best Recipe for Cutlets

Today I made mom's famous easy cutlet recipe.


I used canola oil and I made it caprese style.


I know she would have loved what I did to this delicious fried steak if she was still here with us.

Fresh is Best!

It's bursting with fresh flavors, the meat is tender as could be.


Herbs that are fresh just kicks up the flavors here, I love summer fresh herbs!


Garden plum tomatoes, whole milk mozzarella are just a few ingredients you will need along with fresh basil!


If you love caprese salad, you will love this version of steak cutlets.


If you're counting calories, I will give you several suggestions below to cut those calories in half!

Fresh Tomatoes and Fresh Herbs Make this Dish

I love using plum tomatoes and then the mozzarella with a touch of olive oil and vinegar.


I used lemon juice today to make the photo look prettier.


I prefer to eat this with an aged balsamic vinegar.


It makes everything taste better, mine was 18 years aged and very sweet.


The smell still lingers in the house after you fry the meat and makes my mouth water even after I ate!

Baking A healthier version

Mom used this using it on chicken, fish, cube steaks, venison, and steak. I love them all.


If you do decide you prefer to bake these Steak Cutlets instead of fry, they come out delicious also.


Drizzle the cutlets with olive oil. Place on parchment paper and bake at 400 degrees until crispy.


If they start to dry out a little add some white wine to keep them moist.

Cutting Carbs nad Tips

Substitutions for Bread Crumbs:

• Panko
• Pork rinds
• Almond meal
• Coconut flour

Just season with the same ingredients listed in the recipe card.
My first preference in these substitutions is the coconut flour, also you can use just egg whites instead of a whole egg.

Summer Fun Recipes

These steak cutlets are the perfect summer meal.


Don't miss trying this recipe with your favorite meat no matter what you like.


I love making them ahead of time and they freeze great!


Just bread them, place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and freeze.


When frozen solid, place in freezer bags and you can cook them fresh.


You can also cook them first and freeze them.


Hope that gave you some great suggestions for meal planning!
