Time 1h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup fine breadcrumbs
4 thin boneless beef steaks (1/4 inch) or 4 cube steaks, pounded thin (1/4 inch)
vegetable oil (for frying)
1 lime, quartered

Steps:

Pound boneless steaks thin, ¼ inch.
In a shallow soup plate or pan, beat the egg very well. In a second shallow pan mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Put the bread crumbs in a third shallow pan. Line up the bowls in this order: flour, egg, crumbs.
Dust the meat lightly with flour, dip into the beaten egg, and coat with bread crumbs. Put the breaded meat on a plate lined with wax paper and refrigerate about 1 hour.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil to a depth of about ¼ inch.
Fry the meat until brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Squeeze lime juice over each piece of meat, if desired.

Beef Milanesa Torta Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by garciamoss

Number Of Ingredients 23

For Cracker Meal:
40 saltine crackers
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
I don't add any extra salt because the crackers are already salted
You will also need:
1 pound beef for milanesa, 3 steaks sliced thin
beef, such as top round can be used, pounded out thin
Salt and pepper
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups chopped or shredded lettuce
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced
1 large avocado, sliced
1 cup red onions, sliced thin
Handful of chopped cilantro
1/2 cup canola or olive oil
1 cup refried beans
6 rolls for tortas, bolillos or sub rolls (6 inches)
1 cup of your favorite salsa

Steps:

1. Add the crackers to the food processor, along with the spices listed. Pulse, then process on high until you get a fine cracker meal. Transfer to a shallow dish, set aside. 2. Season the beef lightly with salt and pepper and transfer to a plate until ready to use. In another shallow dish, lightly beat the eggs. Prep your vegetables, cover until ready to use. 3. Preheat 1/2 cup of oil to medium heat for 5 minutes. Dip the beef into the egg to cover, then coat with cracker meal using hands to gently press onto beef. 4. Once oil is hot, cook the milanesa for about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Try not to move it too much or the breading may come off. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil paper to keep warm. When you are frying the last piece, heat the refried beans until warm. 5. Slice the milanesa in half so you have 6 equal pieces.To the roll, spread with refried beans, lettuce, tomato, avocado, beef milanesa, onions and salsa. Serve with crispy potato wedges. Tips: To quick-pickle the red onions, squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the onions. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Do this first thing so the onions have time to pickle while you cook. If you don't eat beef, this recipe can also be prepared with chicken.
