Gather @beef sirloin{600%g}, @cooked ham{100%g}, @tomato passata{200%ml}, @dried oregano{1%tsp} and @sunflower oil{300%ml}.

Pat the cutlets dry and season both sides with salt.

Set up a breading station: beat the eggs with garlic and parsley in one dish, spread the @breadcrumbs{200%g} in another.

Dip each cutlet in the @egg{3}, then press firmly into the crumbs to coat evenly.

Heat the oil in a skillet until shimmering; fry the cutlets until deep gold and crisp, about 3–4 minutes per side. ~{7%minutes}

Drain the cutlets on paper towels and arrange on a baking sheet.

Top each with passata, a slice of ham, and @mozzarella{200%g}; sprinkle with oregano.

Broil until the cheese bubbles and browns in spots, about 5 minutes. ~{5%minutes}

Serve hot with fries. Lettuce may watch from a distance.
