Submitted by Loli Cash

"Popular throughout Latin America, 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 mildness are delicious!!!"  

Prep time: 15 minutes. Cook time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:
1 pound top round, sliced thinly into about 6 steaks
1 cup bread crumbs
2 tsp. oregano
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. salt

Preparation:

Mix the flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. 

Mix the breadcrumbs with the oregano and spread onto a plate. 

Whisk the eggs lightly. 

Dredge each steak into the flour, coating both sides. 

Dip each piece into the egg, then place into the breadcrumbs, coating both sides thoroughly.
