Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Begin by tenderizing the beef steaks with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin until they are about 1 cm thick.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika, mixing well.
- In a second bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
- In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each beef steak first in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until hot.
- Carefully place the breaded steaks into the pan, frying for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked steaks to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Let the steaks rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Plate the Milanesa alongside your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
