What is milanesa steak?

Milanesa steak is a traditional Argentinian dish made of thinly sliced beef that is breaded and fried until crispy. The dish is similar to a schnitzel or chicken fried steak in the United States.

The beef is typically pounded thin to ensure even cooking and tenderness. It is then dipped in a mixture of beaten eggs, flour, and bread crumbs before being fried in oil until golden brown.

Milanesa steak can be served as a main dish with a side of mashed potatoes, salad, or fries. It can also be used as a sandwich filling, known as a milanesa sandwich, often topped with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.

The dish is popular in many Latin American countries, including Argentina, Uruguay, and Mexico, and is considered a comfort food for many people in the region.
