2lbs.meat (beef, chicken, or pork) cut into thin slices
3eggs
1cupbreadcrumbs
1tspsalt
1tspblack pepper
1tsppaprika
1tspgarlic powder
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Begin by tenderizing the meat slices with a meat mallet or the flat side of a heavy knife. This helps to break down the fibers and make the meat more tender.
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs with a fork and season them with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Spread the breadcrumbs on a plate or a flat surface and season them with a pinch of salt.
Dip each slice of meat first into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly, and then into the breadcrumbs, pressing down lightly to ensure that the breadcrumbs adhere to the meat.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot.
Fry the breaded meat slices in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the cooked milanesa onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the milanesa hot with your choice of sides, such as French fries, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
