1
Start by getting a couple of sheets of plastic wrap out and lay one of them on your work surface (set the other aside for a moment).
-
2
Lay one of the tenderloin rounds on top of the sheet then place the other sheet of plastic wrap on top.
-
3
Using the flat side of a meat mallet, begin to pound the beef, until you get it to about 1/2 inch thick, or down to a quarter inch.
-
4
Just be careful not to tear through the beef.
-
5
Flip your meat mallet over and use the other side to tenderize it even more.
-
6
Season one side with salt and pepper and set it aside on a plate.
-
7
Repeat with the remaining slices of beef.
-
8
Next get your dredging station ready.
-
9
Into one container, add the beaten eggs and water.
-
10
Mix.
-
11
Into another container, add the flour and season with some salt and pepper.
-
12
Into another container, add the breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning.
-
13
Mix.
-
14
Get a large, non-stick skillet heated on the stove on medium heat.
-
15
Add your cooking oil, and let it come up to temperature, but not smoking.
-
16
Add a flattened steak into the flour, and flip to lightly coat each side.
-
17
Shake off any excess flour.
-
18
Next move that to the egg wash, and coat both sides.
-
19
Move that into the breadcrumbs and once turned over to coat both sides, gently press down on each side to get a good coating.
-
20
Set it on a plate and repeat dredging of the other pieces of meat.
-
21
Cook them one at a time in the oil, until you reach a nice golden brown on both sides.
-
22
Once cooked, remove it from the oil and set it on a paper towel-lined plate to allow the grease to drain.
-
23
Repeat cooking the rest of the meat.
-
24
When you are ready, take the bottom portion of your roll and slather on the heated marinara sauce, then top with the mozzarella cheese, then the cooked Sicilian beef.
-
25
Add the top bun, press down a bit, and dig in.
-
26
This is a monster of a sandwich, and can be sliced in half and shared if you desire.
-
27
My oldest pounded it down, and my middle man almost finished.
-
28
I devoured it, and could not put it down.
-
29
And my wife tackled half of it.
-
30
This sandwich had that great crunchy texture, while being super tender as well.
-
31
And when you get that great marinara and saltiness from the cheese, well lets just say it was a great bite.
-
32
Hope you enjoy.
