Add your tenderized steaks into this egg mixture.
Remove steaks from egg mixture and put into a flat container which you filled up with breadcrumbs or flour.
Brown steak in large skillet that has a layer of olive oil for frying. (A very nice touch is to add cut onions to oil and the to put steaks on top of onions.)
