This egg and mustard marinade for meat with sesame seeds comes together in minutes with eggs, mustard, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Coat the pieces of meat in the marinade and refrigerate, ideally overnight, then cook within two days. The cornstarch and eggs help keep the meat juicy when pan-fried in butter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving, and add your favorite seasonings to the marinade if you like.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Mix the eggs, cornstarch, mustard, salt, and pepper. Add your favorite seasonings to taste, if desired.
Cut the meat into pieces of your preferred size and combine with the marinade. Refrigerate, preferably overnight.
Because the marinade contains raw eggs, cook the meat within 2 days. The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) recommends marinating chicken in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days.
Pan-fry the meat in butter on both sides until cooked through in the center, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Discard any marinade left in the bowl, as it contains raw meat and egg.

Tip: Let the excess marinade drain off the pieces of meat before pan-frying; otherwise, it will turn into scrambled eggs in the pan and the meat will steam instead of brown.
