The Easiest Way to Bread a Steak

Learn Chef John’s simplest method for breading a steak, making it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. This technique creates a perfectly golden crust that locks in all the flavors, while keeping the process mess-free, whether you're making chicken-fried steak or a breaded pork cutlet.

_you are after all the Louis Vitton of your Meat Crouton_

[GameFoodie]

I love the levity you bring to your videos.

Giant, flat meat crouton... I've been looking for a name for my punk band. Thank you Chef John!

[natwinkel]

Nobody can make me laugh in the morning except for you I guess 😂 “giant crouton” 😂

[Boboobob-st]

This looks so good, need to make this..😅😊

[JohnRNewAccountNumber]

Your chefs were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, which is awesome because this looks pretty nifty. Gonna try it with veal next time I see my mom, she loves schnitzel and schnitzel-adjacent foods

[NarlepoaxIII]

Hell yeah, giant meat crouton. The healthiest snack.

[NoHandle]

This is a good compromise that takes all the work out of breading.

[stevelogan]

Very similar to a chicken fried steak, I would have to give it a taste to tell

[spacemanwithraygun]

Never saw a cave painting of a salad. Our ancestors knew.

[E_LithaBeth]

Do you have pen and paper at your bedside for when these ideas come to you in the night?

[NickBLeaveIt]

So how do you get the entire steak (and not just the outside rim) to that dark a brown?

[xerotolerant]

Meat crouton. lol. That’s a fantastic way to describe it

[EmMiller-dk]

Giant flat meat crouton over a salad sounds delicious.

[appo]

Pound your meat well, but not too much.

[andreyrass]

Editor, you need to include a bit more context, the garlic flavoured oily breadcrumbs materialising out of nowhere are funny but probably not good for users not familiar with the source full length video.

Have you heard of CHICKEN FRIED STEAK?

[sonsofsparda]

Thats not medium high. That cant be. Whenever i set my electric to medium high my atainless steel pans start smoking and i burn whatever im cooking. Clarify chef john

[missangie]

Looks delicious but I would never put it on a salad. BESIDE a salad and perhaps potato but not on top, jeez.

[jessesims]

I’ve never understood hot meat on a cold salad. Not the contrasting temp/text combo like sushi. Just a hot piece of chicken on semi-warmed (from the chicken) romaine lettuce. Gross.
