Ingredients
  

For the Beef Milanesa:
  • 4 pieces cube steaks (4-6 ounces each)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 large eggs (whisked)
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (use panko for extra crunch)
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup oil (for frying)

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Whisk
  • Shallow Dishes
  • Tongs
  • Paper towels

Method
 

Method:
  1. Gather all your ingredients and equipment. Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with the whisked eggs, and one with the breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
  2. Take each cube steak and dip it into the flour mixture, covering both sides evenly. Shake off excess flour, dip in the whisked eggs, and then transfer to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to coat.
  3. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot enough for frying. Test by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle.
  4. Carefully place the coated steaks into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Use tongs to flip gently.
  5. Transfer the cooked Beef Milanesa to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs.
  • Let the cooked steaks drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
