Milenesa

By Patty Bertke of Hancock County

2 chicken breasts or cut of beef, such as round steak, pounded about 1/4 inch flat. It could be as big as a plate.
Italian seasoned bread crumbs
One egg
Olive oil for frying
Lemon slice for serving

Dip meat in egg then coat with bread crumbs. In a hot pan, using a small amount of oil, brown meat on both sides until cooked through. It will cook fast because it is thin.

In Argentina, this is served many ways. One way is in a sandwich roll with lettuce, tomato, a slice of cheese, and a slice of ham.  The other is by itself on a plate with a salad of shredded lettuce, shredded carrots and shredded raw beets (no dressing needed). The lemon is squeezed onto the meat at serving.
