Milanesa (Mexican Breaded Steaks)

This is an authentic Mexican recipe that I got from my mother-in-law. My husband loves these steaks. His mother served them with mashed potatoes and a salad of lettuce and cucumbers dressed with lime juice and salt. You can also make some killer Milanesa sandwiches topped with refried beans, lettuce, queso fresco, tomato, jalapenos, and mexican cream, which is something that is on many menus at Mexican restaurants.

Here is what you will need:
1/2 cup cooking oil
3 thin steaks
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
2 eggs

Heat the oil over medium high heat in a large, heavy pan. While waiting for the oil to heat, sprinkle each steak with salt and pepper. Pound out the steaks until they are super thin.

Dredge each steak in egg and then in the breadcrumbs. Put each steak directly in the hot oil. Don't prepare the steaks until you are ready to fry them as this will make the breadcrumbs soggy.

Depending on how big your steaks are, you may need to do one at a time. Cook until brown on each side, approximately 4 minutes per side.
Remove the steaks to a plate lined with paper towels. This makes enough for three people.
