Milanesa a Caballo - Recipe from Episode 1 of Food Fight Season 3

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Ground oats provide a healthier option with more fiber.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

tomato sauce

🥗Healthier: fresh tomatoes

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Fresh tomatoes can enhance flavor while canned is more economical.

Start by mincing cilantro, parsley, oregano, and garlic for chimichurri.

Cut potatoes into quarters and then slice them about 1/4 inch thick.

Pound the beef steaks until thin and even.

Season the beef with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

Prepare an egg wash by whisking 1 egg in a small bowl.

Set up a breading station with flour mixed with salt and regular bread crumbs.

Dip each steak into the egg wash, then coat with bread crumbs.

Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan until shimmering.

Pan-fry the breaded steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest.

In the same pan, fry eggs sunny-side up until the whites are set but yolks are still runny.

Prepare a salad with mixed lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and shallot, seasoned with salt, pepper, red wine vinegar, and olive oil.

Season the fried potatoes with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

To serve, place a bed of fried potatoes on the plate, add the salad on top, then the steak, and finally the sunny-side up egg.

Top with chimichurri before serving.
