Argentinian Milanesas

1

Slice topside beef into milanessas, around 5 mm thick.

2

Remove fat and connective tissue from the beef.

3

Prepare the egg mix by crushing garlic with salt to form a paste, then adding olive oil, chopped parsley, oregano, and smoked paprika.

4

Beat 4-5 eggs per kg of meat in a bowl until well mixed.

5

Set up a station with flour, egg mix, and bread crumbs for coating the milanessas.

6

Dust each milanessa with flour, dip into the egg mix, and coat with bread crumbs.

7

Optionally, double coat by dipping back into the egg and bread crumbs for a thicker crust.

8

Stack the coated milanessas on a tray and chill in the fridge before freezing.
