Living in South Florida for several years, this was a favorite of mine when we'd go out to a Cuban restaurant. It's good with black beans & rice & fried plantains.

Time 35m

Yield 6 pieces, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb thinly sliced top round steaks (1/4 inch thick) or 1 lb rib eye (1/4 inch thick)
15 -20 saltine crackers, finely crushed
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 cup flour
1 -2 egg (add a touch of milk for egg wash)
salt
pepper
olive oil (for frying, or whatever kind of oil you like to use to fry.)

Steps:

  • Heat Oil.
  • Salt and Pepper flour on one plate.
  • Make Egg Wash.
  • Crush Saltines, I use a food processor, adding in garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. Put crumbs on another plate. (No need to add salt as the saltines are salty enough.).
  • I usually cut the steaks in half to fit in the frying pan, but you can leave them in one big piece if the steaks will fit in yours.
  • Dip steak in flour, then egg then cover with saltine crumbs.
  • Fry in oil for about 3-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. It won't take long because the steaks are so thin.
  • Drain on Paper Towels.
  • OPTIONAL: Serve with Avocado, Pico de Gallo, Salad, Rice and/or Beans and sprinkle steaks with lemon juice.

BREADED FRIED STEAK - MILANESA



Breaded Fried Steak - Milanesa image

Popular throughout Latin America (especially in Uruguay), milanesas are thin cut steaks that have been breaded and fried. They're easy to make and perfect for a quick supper. Start with thinly sliced top round, dip slices in egg and bread crumbs, and fry for a few minutes on each side. You can make milanesas with chicken breasts too (pollo a la milanesa) - just be sure to pound them to a thin, even thickness. Steak milanesas are delicious served with chimichurri sauce.
