Ingredients

• 4 pieces thinly sliced beef or chicken cutlets
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1.5 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 whole lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef or chicken cutlets on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls or plates. In the first bowl, place the gluten-free all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In the third bowl, place the gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Coat each cutlet in the flour, ensuring it is lightly but evenly covered. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 4

Dip the floured cutlets into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 5

Transfer the cutlets to the breadcrumb bowl and press the breadcrumbs onto the surface to ensure each cutlet is fully coated. Set the breaded cutlets aside on a plate.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking; you can test it by dropping in a small piece of breadcrumb—it should sizzle immediately.

Step 7

Fry the breaded cutlets in the oil, working in batches if necessary. Cook each cutlet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the gluten-free Milanesas immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, if desired.
