milanesa-style steak

Components

• Two big tender coffin steaks
• 1/2 tea cup of wheat flour
• 1 cup of homemade sifted flour
• Two eggs
• 3 tablespoons of water (or milk)
• A small pinch of dried calabresa chili (optional)
• Rosemary leaves sprinkled to taste (optional)
• Season with salt and ground pepper to taste.
• 2 cups of oil for deep frying
• Dijon mustard, amount as desired, for serving.

Setup phase

1. Slice each steak horizontally in the center to create 4 smaller pieces, making them easier to wrap and fry.

1. In a small bowl, crack one egg at a time and pour it into a deep dish. Add water and season with rosemary, salt, and dried calabresa pepper. Use a fork to gently beat the mixture until the egg whites and yolks are combined.
2. In a shallow dish, put the breadcrumbs, and in another, the wheat flour seasoned with a pinch of salt. Arrange a paper towel in a cross shape.
3. Coat the steaks: season each one with salt and pepper to your liking; dredge the steak in wheat flour and tap with your hands to shake off any excess; dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the surplus to drip off; then coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to cover the entire surface. For a thicker crust, repeat the process by dipping again in egg and breadcrumbs to ensure a well-adhered, crispy coating.
4. Place the oil in a deep skillet and heat it over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough for frying, dip a matchstick into the cold oil; if it ignites, the oil has reached the correct temperature.
5. Gently place 2 steaks in the pan to fry at once (if your pan is small, cook 1 at a time). Fry for 1 minute until browned, then use a spatula or tongs to turn the steaks and cook the other side evenly. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels and repeat with the remaining steaks. Serve immediately with a spoonful of Dijon mustard.
