🥩 Authentic Argentinian Milanesa Recipe (Crispy Breaded Steak)

Description

Milanesa is a beloved Argentinian comfort food — thin beef or chicken cutlets coated in breadcrumbs and fried until golden and crispy. Inspired by Italian cuisine, it’s often served with mashed potatoes, fries, or salad. In Argentina, it’s a weekly household favorite!

🕒 Prep & Cook Time

  • Prep time: 20 minutes
  • Cook time: 15 minutes
  • Total time: 35 minutes
  • Serves: 4 people

🥘 Ingredients

  • 4 beef steaks (top round or sirloin, thinly sliced)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan (optional)
  • Oil for frying (sunflower or vegetable oil)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Tenderize the Meat:
    Pound the beef slices thin using a meat mallet for even cooking.

  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
    In a bowl, beat eggs with minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.

  3. Coat the Meat:
    Dip each slice into the egg mixture, then dredge in breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan if desired.

  4. Chill (Optional):
    Place the coated cutlets in the fridge for 15 minutes — helps the coating stick better.

  5. Fry:
    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.

  6. Drain and Serve:
    Place on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, salad, or fries.

🍽️ Serving Ideas

  • Milanesa Napolitana: Topped with tomato sauce, ham, and melted cheese (like a pizza!).
  • Milanesa Sandwich (Sándwich de Milanesa): A street food favorite with lettuce, tomato, and mayo in crusty bread.

Q1. What kind of meat is best for Milanesa?

Q5. Can I freeze Milanesa?
A5. Absolutely! Bread the cutlets and freeze them uncooked in layers separated by parchment paper. Fry directly from frozen when needed.
