Ingredients

• 4 pieces sirloin steaks
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the sirloin steaks by using a meat mallet to pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness. This ensures even cooking and tenderizes the meat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Set the mixture aside.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to evenly distribute the cheese throughout the breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Dip each steak into the egg mixture, making sure it is completely coated on both sides.

Step 5

Press the steak into the breadcrumb mixture, patting down to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Turn the steak over and repeat on the other side. Shake off any excess breadcrumbs and place the coated steak on a plate. Repeat for all four steaks.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep and reach a temperature of 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.

Step 7

Carefully add one or two steaks to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the cooked steaks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat for the remaining steaks.

Step 9

Serve the milanesas hot with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty touch.
