Milanesa

Cultural Context

Milanesa is a beloved dish in Argentina, originating from the Italian 'cotoletta' and adapted to local tastes. Traditionally served with mashed potatoes or salad, it's a staple in Argentine households, often enjoyed on weekends or special occasions. Today, variations abound, including milanesa a la napolitana, which adds cheese and ham, showcasing its adaptability in modern cuisine.

ARARmain
4 servings
Servings4
4 veal steaks, Milanese cut or thinly sliced, 1 lb or 450 gr
2 eggs
1 cup of breadcrumbs, 3.5oz or 180 gr
1 ½ cups Canola oil for frying (can substitute with corn or sunflower oil), about 35cl
One bunch of parsley
2 cloves of garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1

Chop up parsley as finely as possible.

2

Peel the garlic and crush them in a mortar.

3

Arrange milanesa steaks on a board and season with half the parsley, crushed garlic, pepper, and salt. Rub them well.

4

If you have time, let the milanesa steaks rest for an hour in the fridge for the best flavors.

5

Crack open the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the rest of the parsley, a pinch of salt. Beat egg mixture well using a fork until everything is well integrated.

6

Dip the milanesa steaks into the egg beaten mixture.

7

Arrange the bread crumbs on a flat plate. Take the first piece of milanesa steak and place it on the plate. Flip so both sides are covered in breadcrumbs. Repeat this process for all pieces of meat.

8

Heat a skillet with vegetable oil at medium-high heat. Wait at least three minutes for the oil to be very hot.

9

Fry the steaks on both sides for about three minutes, until they are golden brown.

10

After each steak is cooked, remove from the skillet, and drain on sheets of absorbent paper towels for about five minutes.
