3. Dip the steak into the beaten egg and then into the breadcrumbs.
4. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the crumbed steak and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and set aside.
5. To serve, place a slice of tomato onto a serving plate and top with a slice of mozzarella, followed by a slice of beef. Repeat the layers, ending with a slice of beef on top. Garnish with basil leaves and drizzle with olive oil.
