Discover how to make the perfect milanesa steak recipe with our easy, step-by-step guide for a crispy, delicious meal.
Equipment
- A large frying pan
- Meat tenderizer or rolling pin
- Three shallow bowls
- Paper towels
- Kitchen tongs
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Thinly sliced beef steaks
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- For frying Vegetable oil
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare Your Steaks
- Place each steak between two pieces of plastic wrap.
- Using a meat tenderizer or rolling pin, gently pound the steaks to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Season both sides with salt and garlic powder.
- Note: Thinning the steaks allows them to cook quickly and evenly, capturing that iconic milanesa texture.
Step 2 – Set Up Your Dredging Station
- In the first bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Beat the eggs in the second bowl.
- Combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in the third bowl.
- Warning: Make sure each bowl is wide enough to fit the steaks for easy coating.
Step 3 – Dredge the Steaks
- Dredge each steak in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip into the beaten eggs, then press into the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
- Set aside on a plate.
- Note: Ensure each steak is evenly coated with breadcrumbs to achieve that perfect crunch.
Notes
- Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the milanesa from absorbing too much oil and becoming soggy.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to keep the oil temperature steady.
