Step 1
Season the 2 beef cutlets with salt and pepper. Beat the 1 egg in a shallow bowl. Place the 0.5 cup breadcrumbs on a plate.
Step 2
Dip each cutlet into the beaten egg, then press into the breadcrumbs, coating both sides evenly.
Step 3
Heat the 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, warm the 1 cup tomato sauce over medium heat until hot and bubbling, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Spoon the warm tomato sauce over the cutlets and sprinkle with the 2 tbsp chopped chives before serving.
