How to Make Beef Milanesa

  1. Pound 2 (8-ounce) boneless beef steaks to 1/4-inch thickness.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs very well.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Place 2 cups breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
  5. Arrange the flour, egg, and breadcrumb dishes in that order.
  6. Lightly dust each steak with flour, dip in the egg, and thoroughly coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Place the breaded steaks on a wax paper-lined plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  8. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  9. Fry the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Squeeze fresh lime juice over each steak, if desired.
  11. Serve immediately with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, Spanish rice, and black beans.
