Beef Milanesa

Cultural Context

Traditionally served with fresh salads or as a sandwich, it reflects the country's love for breaded meats. Today, variations abound, with some adding toppings like cheese or sauces, making it a versatile dish enjoyed across Argentina and beyond.

1

Make a seasoning mixture with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon Lowry's seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion powder in a bowl and mix well.

2

Use 1 pound of thinly sliced beef chuck shoulder roast, pound it thinner for tenderness, and slice it in half to create smaller pieces.

3

Season both sides of the beef pieces with the seasoning mixture and place them in a glass dish to marinate briefly.

4

Crush 1 1/2 sleeves of unsalted topped crackers into crumbs and place in a bowl for breading.

5

In another bowl, mix 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon Lowry's seasoned salt.

6

In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg and add 1/4 cup of water to create an egg wash.

7

Set up an assembly line with the seasoned flour, egg wash, and crushed crackers.

8

Dredge each seasoned beef piece in the flour, dip it in the egg wash, and then coat it with the crushed crackers, pressing firmly to adhere. Place on a baking sheet.

9

Let the coated beef cutlets sit on the counter to set and take the chill off.

10

Heat a large skillet with about 1/2 inch of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

11

Fry the beef cutlets for about 1 minute on each side or until golden brown and crunchy.

12

Serve the milanesa with a simple salad and Mexican rice.
