Ingredients

  • 4 thin beef cutlets (around 150g each)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Fresh lemon wedges (for serving)
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the beef cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them to flatten to about 1/4 inch thickness.

  2. 2

    Set up a breading station: in one shallow bowl, place the flour; in a second bowl, beat the eggs; and in a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat each beef cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

  4. 4

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. You can test the oil by dropping in a piece of bread; if it sizzles, it's ready.

  5. 5

    Carefully add the breaded cutlets to the skillet in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not crowd the pan.

  6. 6

    Once cooked, transfer the cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

  7. 7

    Serve the beef milanesa hot, garnished with chopped parsley and accompanied by fresh lemon wedges. Enjoy!
