Preheat the oil in a deep pan to 170°C for frying.
To check the oil temperature, drop in a small piece of breadcrumb. If it bubbles and rises to the surface quickly, the oil is ready.
Season the beef with soy sauce and sesame oil, then dredge in the flour, dip in the beaten egg, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Ensure the beef is coated well in each step. Press the breadcrumbs gently to make sure they stick.
Carefully fry the beef in the hot oil for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding and maintain oil temperature.
Once fried, drain the beef on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Let the beef rest for a minute to redistribute the juices inside.
Slice the beef into strips and serve with shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.
Serve with rice and pickles for an authentic meal.
