garlic into meat. Marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator.
Brush off the onion pieces and dip each steak into the egg to make sure its
fully coated. Dip the steak into the crackers, making sure that the ground
crackers completely cover the steak. Fry the steaks in cooking oil on
medium heat until golden brown and well done. Serve with a few onion
