Milanesa Cuban Chicken Fried Steak Recipes

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK CUBAN STYLE

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs with the oregano, cumin, and salt and pepper. Beat eggs in another shallow dish. Dip each steak in beaten eggs, and then in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to cover each steak well with the breadcrumb mixture.
• In a large, deep skillet, heat 1inch oil over medium high heat.
• Place the steaks in the oil when it's hot (so that the breading will not stick to the pan). Cook steaks, turning once, until brown for well done and golden brown for medium. Serve with lemon slices.

HOW TO MAKE MILANESA DE RES

Steps:

• Begin heating oil in skillet on medium heat on the stove top.
• In shallow casserole or pie dish, stir together breadcrumbs and spices, set aside.
• In another shallow casserole or pie dish, whisk eggs until well blended, set aside.
• Sprinkle flour on both sides of each steak.
• Working with one steak at a time (using gloves, if you like), dip each steak in egg then in breadcrumb mixture. Set steaks aside on a baking sheet so they're not touching.
• Once all steaks are covered and the oil is hot, cook one steak at a time. Place in the oil and cook for 1-2 minutes if the steaks are 1/8" thick or 2-3 minutes if the steaks are 1/4" thick. Using tongs, turn and repeat.
• Remove steaks to drain on paper towels.
• This meal is typically served with French fries when plated or can be made into fajita style tacos or sandwiches. I've shown it with a tomato pico de gallo and a rounded scoop of polenta, garnished with cilantro and lime slices for squeezing a bit of lime juice on top when serving.
