Cuisine : Milanesa - How to make this delicious Argentine item at home

 



Milanesa is a popular breaded and fried meat dish, originating from Argentina. Here's a detailed guide to prepare traditional beef Milanesa:


Ingredients:


- 4 beef steaks (sirloin or round), thinly sliced

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 2 large eggs

- 2 cups breadcrumbs

- Vegetable oil for frying

- Lemon wedges for serving


Instructions:


1. **Prepare the Meat:**

   - If the beef steaks are not already thin, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness.

   - Season both sides of each steak with salt and pepper.


2. **Set up the Breading Station:**

   - In three separate shallow dishes, set up a breading station with flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in the third.


3. **Coat the Meat:**

   - Dredge each steak in the flour, shaking off excess.

   - Dip the floured steak into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's well-coated.

   - Press the steak into the breadcrumbs, making sure it's evenly coated on both sides.


4. **Rest the Breaded Steaks:**

   - Place the breaded steaks on a plate and let them rest for about 10-15 minutes. This helps the breading adhere better during frying.


5. **Heat the Oil:**

   - In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Make sure there's enough oil to submerge the steaks halfway.


6. **Fry the Milanesa:**

   - Carefully place the breaded steaks into the hot oil, a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.

   - Fry each side until golden brown, usually 3-4 minutes per side.


7. **Drain and Serve:**

   - Once golden and crispy, transfer the Milanesa to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.


8. **Repeat the Process:**

   - Repeat the frying process until all the steaks are cooked.


9. **Serve Warm:**

   - Serve the Milanesa warm with lemon wedges on the side.


Milanesa can be served with mashed potatoes, salad, or in a sandwich (Milanesa a la Napolitana). It's a classic Argentine dish loved for its crispy texture and savory flavor.
