Breaded Fried Steak Milanesa Recipes

HOW TO MAKE MILANESA DE RES

Steps:

• Begin heating oil in skillet on medium heat on the stove top.
• In shallow casserole or pie dish, stir together breadcrumbs and spices, set aside.
• In another shallow casserole or pie dish, whisk eggs until well blended, set aside.
• Sprinkle flour on both sides of each steak.
• Working with one steak at a time (using gloves, if you like), dip each steak in egg then in breadcrumb mixture. Set steaks aside on a baking sheet so they're not touching.
• Once all steaks are covered and the oil is hot, cook one steak at a time. Place in the oil and cook for 1-2 minutes if the steaks are 1/8" thick or 2-3 minutes if the steaks are 1/4" thick. Using tongs, turn and repeat.
• Remove steaks to drain on paper towels.
• This meal is typically served with French fries when plated or can be made into fajita style tacos or sandwiches. I've shown it with a tomato pico de gallo and a rounded scoop of polenta, garnished with cilantro and lime slices for squeezing a bit of lime juice on top when serving.

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.

MILANESA DE RES

Steps:

• Crack eggs in a medium bowl and beat slightly with a fork or whisk. Set aside. Place smashed crackers on a plate big enough for the steak.
• Season steak with salt and pepper and soak in the beaten egg. Transfer to the smashed crackers and cover both sides with the crackers using a spoon; you can press a little bit with the spoon so that the crackers stick better.
• Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom half of the steaks. Cook 2 steaks in the hot oil until crackers have turned light golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until golden and meat is no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining steaks.
