Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cook Time6 minutes mins
Servings: 6 milanesas
- 1 lb round eye steak , thinly cut
- 3 tablespoon chopped parsley , finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves , finely chopped
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cup breadcrumbs
Meat
Sprinkle salt and black pepper, followed by chopped parsley and garlic, pressing them to adhere, on each piece of the meat. Stack them on a plate.
Whisk the eggs with some salt in a deep plate that's big enough to fit the meat pieces. Place a piece of meat inside, then flip, making sure all the surface is covered with the eggs.
Pour the breadcrumbs into a deep plate. Coat the meat with the breadcrumbs, pressing as you go. Stack the breaded steak on a plate while continuing with the rest.
Cook
Spray a baking tray with oil, place the breaded steaks on it without crowding them, and spray the top with oil. Broil in the oven on the highest rack, for 6 minutes, and flip them halfway through.
Remove them from the oven and place them on a plate or a cooling rack. Don't stack them while they're not, as that'll make the crispy skins go soggy. Enjoy!
- Use thin-cut meat. If it's thick, use a meat pounder to tenderize it.
- Use kitchen paper to absorb the oil. This will make the milanesa steak less greasy.
- Don't stack them after cooking when they're hot. This will make the crispy skin turn soggy.
- Don't reheat in the microwave. The milanesa steak will turn soft. Instead, reheat it in the oven or an air-fryer at 400ºF (200ºC) for 2-3 minutes.
- Make a big batch. That's how we always do it, and then we freeze them! Endless supply of milanesa steak!
- To cook in the air-fryer. Preheat the air-fryer to 400ºF (200ºC). Once preheated, spray the inner basket with oil, place the milanesa steaks inside without overcrowding them, and spray the top with more oil. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, flipping them halfway through.
