Similar to a schnitzel, it’s perfectly seasoned, tender on the inside, and golden brown on the outside.

🥩🇦🇷 Argentinian Beef Milanesa
(Crispy, breaded beef cutlets with a perfect golden crust, seasoned to perfection and ready to enjoy!)
🛒 Ingredients (for 4 servings):
- 4 beef steaks (top sirloin, flank, or round are great options, pounded thin)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style for extra flavor)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
🔥 How to Make:
1. Prepare the Beef:
- If the steaks are not already thin, place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to gently pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Season both sides of the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano.
2. Bread the Beef:
- Set up three shallow bowls for the breading process:
- In the first bowl, place the flour
- In the second bowl, beat the eggs
- In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese (if using)
- Dredge each beef steak in the flour, coating it evenly. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully covered. Finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
3. Fry the Milanesa:
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Fry the beef cutlets for 3–4 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the cooked milanesa from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
4. Serve:
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, a salad, or even in a sandwich with lettuce and tomato for a fun twist!
