Sicilian Steak (Bistecca Alla Siciliana) is a popular Italian dish that is often served for special occasions or Sunday dinners. The steaks are flavored with garlic, Parmesan cheese, and oregano, which are commonly found in Sicilian cuisine. The breadcrumbs create a crispy crust that contrasts well with the tender, juicy steak. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made in under 30 minutes.

Instructions

1.	In a small bowl, mix together crushed garlic, olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, and oregano. Set aside.
2.	Season the steaks with salt and pepper to taste.
3.	Coat both sides of the steaks with breadcrumbs. Pat the breadcrumbs onto the steaks to make sure they stick well.
4.	Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom.
5.	Once the oil is hot, add the steaks and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned and crispy.
6.	Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
7.	Drizzle the garlic and Parmesan mixture over the steaks and serve immediately.
