Milanesa (Breaded Meat Cutlet)

"Milanesa is a beloved dish that combines crispy, golden breading with tender, flavourful meat, making it a staple in many households. Traditionally made with beef or chicken, the meat is pounded thin for even cooking, seasoned generously, and coated in a mixture of flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. This triple-layer coating ensures a crunchy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the juicy interior. Cooking time is quick, typically around 5 minutes per side when shallow-fried until golden and crisp.
To create this dish, start by preparing the meat and marinating it with salt, pepper, and optional garlic or parsley for added flavor. Let it rest to absorb the seasonings. The breading station includes one plate of flour, another of eggs whisked with a splash of milk, and a final one of breadcrumbs, which can be seasoned with herbs or grated cheese for extra depth. Coat each piece thoroughly in this order and fry in hot oil until golden brown.
Milanesa is versatile and can be served in various ways. Enjoy it hot with a side of mashed potatoes or fresh salad for a hearty meal, or tuck it into a sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise for a quick, satisfying snack. For a classic Argentinian twist, top it with tomato sauce, ham, and melted cheese, turning it into a Milanesa a la Napolitana.
For the best results, ensure the oil is properly heated to avoid soggy breading, and allow the cooked cutlets to drain on paper towels before serving. Whether prepared for a family dinner or a casual gathering, Argentinian Milanesa is sure to delight with its crisp texture, rich flavours, and endless serving possibilities."
