Scallops or breaded meat cutlets - Pilar Hernández's Chilean Cuisine

One of my husband's favorite foods is these breaded cutlets, or milanesas as they're called at home—my mother-in-law is Argentinian. He'd been craving them for a while, so he went to the supermarket, bought the ingredients, and made them himself. Honestly, he makes them better than I do.

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • 500 grams of steak, cut into pieces that fit in your pan

  1. Heat the oil over medium heat.
  2. Lightly salt the meat.
  3. Set up a work station: In one dish, beat the eggs with salt and pepper, whisking with a fork for 30 seconds. Another dish with the breadcrumbs.
  4. Coat the meat in breadcrumbs on both sides. Then dip it in the egg, turning it over. Coat it again in breadcrumbs.
  5. Fry for about 2 minutes per side. Let it brown on one side, then turn it over and brown the other side.
  6. Serve hot.
