Second contest entry...

The second entry request was for a Steak Milanese.  Here's a healthy version:
Serves 4
16 ounces of sirloin steak (the quality of the meat make a huge difference)
2 egg whites
1 tbsp water
1/2 cup fine panko crumbs (can be found at any health food store)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large tomato finely chopped
1/4 cup of fresh parsley, minced

Season the steak with salt and pepper and a good steak season. Combine the egg whites and water in a bowl. Dip each steak into the egg mix then coat with crumbs. Repeat with each steak.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the steaks in two batches and saute until golden brown. Turning only once. Finish by sprinkling each steak with tomato and parsley.

Chicken Strips Recipe: 
Serves 4

1 c of low-fat buttermilk (I used 2% milk)
1 c breadcrumbs or panko crumbs (I used homemade crumbs made from toasted wheat bread)
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp of poultry seasoning (I used Adobo season all)
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1/4 tsp allspice
Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly coat a broiler pan w/cooking spray. Pour milk into a pie plate. In another plate combine crumbs, paprika, poultry seasoning, red pepper, allspice and black pepper. Dip chicken in milk then coat both sides with crumb mix. Place on broiler pan and bake for 6 minutes, then turn to other side and bake another 6 minutes or until center is no longer pink. 

I'll be having some potatoes for lunch tomorrow
