Steak Milanesa Recipe
Description
This recipe suggests preparing thin Milanese steaks or pounding thicker steaks to about 1/8 inch thickness. The steaks are seasoned with salt and black pepper, then methodically dredged in flour, dipped in an egg and milk mixture for moisture and adhesion, and coated in seasoned breadcrumbs pressed onto both sides. Using tongs during dipping helps keep hands clean.
Cooking in a wide pan with enough hot oil ensures the steaks fry evenly to a crisp exterior while remaining tender inside. The lightly breaded crust adds a contrast in texture to the thin meat slices. The dish can be served as a main component with sides or used in sandwiches.
Discard leftover flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs after use to avoid cross-contamination. Since the meat is thinly sliced, this recipe yields multiple servings and leftovers.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Milanese steak or thin breakfast steaks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 egg large
- 2 cups bread crumbs or as needed
- 2 cups avocado oil or as needed, or canola oil
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Note: If you can't find a specific Milanesa meat and you have a thicker steaks like a breakfast steak, follow these steps: Put the steak between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a flat meat mallet to pound it to 1/8 inch thick. Repeat with remaining meat.
- To begin, season the Milanesa steaks with salt and pepper
- Into a large shallow bowl, add the flour.
- Into a large shallow bowl, crack 3 eggs, add ½ cup milk and beat with a fork until mixed well.
- In a another shallow bowl, add the breadcrumbs and season with salt and black pepper.
- Dredge one piece of milanesa steak in flour, coating lightly on all sides. Then put it into the eggs, coating it fully. TIP! Use a thong to handle the meat in the egg mixture to prevent your fingers from getting all messy.
- Place it onto the breadcrumb mixture. Use your fingers to mound breadcrumbs on top of the meat then press down to adhere crumbs to the meat. Flip and repeat. Place meat on a large plate. Repeat with the rest of the meat pieces.
- In a large skillet add enough oil to cover the bottom completely by about ⅛ inch. Heat skillet over medium until very hot shimmering.
- Add two milanesa steaks in a single layer and cook until brown, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and brown on the other side. Transfer to a paper plate lined with paper towels. Repeat this cooking step with the rest of the beef.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Discard any leftover flour, egg wash, and breadcrumb mixtures after coating to prevent contamination.
- Thin steaks yield multiple servings and can provide leftovers.
