Milanesa Cuban Chicken Fried Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Heat Oil.
• Salt and Pepper flour on one plate.
• Make Egg Wash.
• Crush Saltines, I use a food processor, adding in garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. Put crumbs on another plate. (No need to add salt as the saltines are salty enough.).
• I usually cut the steaks in half to fit in the frying pan, but you can leave them in one big piece if the steaks will fit in yours.
• Dip steak in flour, then egg then cover with saltine crumbs.
• Fry in oil for about 3-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. It won't take long because the steaks are so thin.
• Drain on Paper Towels.
• OPTIONAL: Serve with Avocado, Pico de Gallo, Salad, Rice and/or Beans and sprinkle steaks with lemon juice.

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken breasts in the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic in a medium bowl for 15 minutes.
• Place the bread in a food processor and pulse until medium-size crumbs are formed, about 10 pulses. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the breadcrumbs (or panko) to a shallow baking dish or rimmed plate and set aside.
• Whisk the egg in a medium bowl and place the flour on medium plate. Dip a piece of the chicken in the flour, then the egg and then the breadcrumbs, lightly pressing down on the chicken and then turning it over to coat the other side. Set the breaded cutlet on a plate and repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the cutlets to the pan and cook until brown on each side and cooked through, about 8 minutes total. Use a spatula to transfer the chicken to a paper-towel-lined plate to blot before serving. Serve with some greens on the side - baby spinach, arugula and chopped endive are all good choices.

Steps:

• Cut meat into 8 pieces. (Pound portions to tenderize if you didn't get the meat already tenderized.) Toss meat with lime or lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
• Lightly beat eggs with water in bow. One at a time, dip steaks in flour, then in eggs, then in bread crumbs.
• Heat oil in large, heavy skillet and fry as many steaks in a pan as you can cook without crowding. Steaks should be cooked through (about 4 min.), crisp and brown on both sides. Keep cooked steaks warm in 250 degree oven while cooking remaining steaks.
• Serve hot with lime or lemon wedges for garnish.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Beat eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Spread flour in another dish and bread crumbs in a third dish.
• Working with one piece at a time, gently press chicken into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour. Dip into the beaten egg, then press into bread crumbs. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded chicken onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry chicken in batches of 2 or 3 pieces until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked chicken to a baking sheet and keep warm in preheated oven while cooking remaining chicken.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Sprinkle garlic salt and pepper onto steaks and marinate refrigerated for one hour in juice of sour orange.
• After 1 hour, beat eggs and add salt.
• Let all juice drip off steaks, dip in egg and roll in breadcrumbs.
• Fry in hot oil until brown.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs with the oregano, cumin, and salt and pepper. Beat eggs in another shallow dish. Dip each steak in beaten eggs, and then in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to cover each steak well with the breadcrumb mixture.
• In a large, deep skillet, heat 1inch oil over medium high heat.
• Place the steaks in the oil when it's hot (so that the breading will not stick to the pan). Cook steaks, turning once, until brown for well done and golden brown for medium. Serve with lemon slices.

Steps:

• 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.
• Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat.
• Fry each steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until breading is crispy and steak is cooked to desired doneness.
• Serve warm, with chimichurri sauce.

Steps:

• Pound the steaks on both sides, using a mallet, until 1/4-inch thin. Season with garlic, lime juice, salt & pepper. Allow to marinate at least 1 hour, refrigerated.
• Remove the steaks from marinade & pat dry. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until very hot. Brown each steak for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• Transfer the steaks to a serving platter & keep warm. Add the marinade & onion to the pan & cook until the onion is slightly wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Garnish the steaks with the onion & parsley & serve immediately.
