Authentic Argentinian Beef Milanesa Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 pound beef round steak (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (preferably homemade)
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 lemon juiced (for serving)
  • 1 cup fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Beef

    Pound the beef slices to about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.

    Use a meat mallet or rolling pin for best results.
  2. Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs mixed with garlic powder.

    Season each bowl lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Bread the Beef

    Coat each beef slice in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with bread crumbs.

    Press the crumbs onto the meat for better adhesion.
  4. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

    Test oil with a small piece of bread; it should sizzle.
  5. Fry the Milanesa

    Fry each breaded beef slice for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.
  6. Drain and Serve

    Remove the milanesa and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve with lemon juice.

    Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

💡 Tips & Tricks

For extra flavor, marinate the beef in lemon juice and spices before breading. Use panko bread crumbs for an extra crispy texture. Serve with mashed potatoes or a salad for a complete meal.
