Milanesa

This is a classic Argentine recipe that I love.

Ingredients:
Beef (either roast or steak)
Eggs
Parsley
Garlic (best is fresh, cut finely; but you could try garlic powder)
Bread crumbs (or flour)
Vegetable oil
Lemon Juice

Instructions:
Cut beef into thin slices / you can also pound it with a tenderizer, hammer, or your fist to make it more tender.
In a bowl mix a couple eggs with garlic and parsley.
In a shallow bowl/pan/pie tin put bread crumbs.
Put oil into a frying pan and heat.
Soak a slice of meat in the egg mixture, then put it into the bread crumbs so it sticks.
Put it in the frying pan, flip it when one side is done.
Repeat with your next slice of delicious meat.
Put some lemon juice on it when you eat it.  I also like dipping it in spaghetti sauce.


You can make this Milanesa Napolitana by putting a little spaghetti sauce/tomato sauce, a slice of ham sandwich meat (or try bacon if you want your taste buds to explode) then a fried egg on top.

You can also use chicken instead of beef for Chicken Milanesa.

Or you can also make milanesa sandwiches, put it in a bun with tomatoes and lettuce.  All kinds of accessorizing your milanesas here.
