Special Precautions and Tips:
- To make sure the steaks are evenly browned, pound them with a meat mallet before dredging.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steaks. They should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
- If you don't have a skillet large enough to fit all the steaks, brown them in batches.
- Let the steaks rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
