Breaded Fried Steak Milanesa Food

THIN-SLICED BREADED TOP ROUND CUTLETS (MILANESA)

Steps:

• Lightly pound top round steaks to tenderize and create uniform 1/8-inch thick cutlets. Lay steaks on a sheet pan and season on both sides with half the salt and pepper. Place breadcrumbs in casserole pan and mixed with the other half of salt and pepper. In a medium mixing bowl beat eggs with the garlic.
• Fill a high-sided skillet with about 1/2-inch of oil and heat over medium-high heat (360°F).
• Dust steaks with flour, dip in eggs and then into breadcrumbs. Make sure steaks are fully coated, pressing into breadcrumbs if necessary.
• Fry on each side for 2 - 3 minutes or until golden brown. Set on cooling rack or plate with paper towels to avoid excess oil.

MILANESA

Steps:

• Heat Oil.
• Salt and Pepper flour on one plate.
• Make Egg Wash.
• Crush Saltines, I use a food processor, adding in garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. Put crumbs on another plate. (No need to add salt as the saltines are salty enough.).
• I usually cut the steaks in half to fit in the frying pan, but you can leave them in one big piece if the steaks will fit in yours.
• Dip steak in flour, then egg then cover with saltine crumbs.
• Fry in oil for about 3-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. It won't take long because the steaks are so thin.
• Drain on Paper Towels.
• OPTIONAL: Serve with Avocado, Pico de Gallo, Salad, Rice and/or Beans and sprinkle steaks with lemon juice.

MEXICAN STEAK MILANESA

Steps:

• Lightly beat eggs with water in bow. One at a time, dip steaks in flour, then in eggs, then in bread crumbs.
• Heat oil in large, heavy skillet and fry as many steaks in a pan as you can cook without crowding. Steaks should be cooked through (about 4 min.), crisp and brown on both sides. Keep cooked steaks warm in 250 degree oven while cooking remaining steaks.
• Serve hot with lime or lemon wedges for garnish.
