1. 1

   Place the beef round steak between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until about 0.5 cm thick.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Pounding the meat evenly ensures it cooks quickly and uniformly.

   Place the bread crumbs in a separate shallow dish.

4. 4

   Dip each pounded beef steak into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then transfer to the bread crumbs, pressing firmly to adhere them to both sides.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: For extra crispy milanesas, you can double bread them by repeating the egg and bread crumb steps.

5. 5

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches about 175°C (350°F).

   Tip van de kok: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a small crumb is dropped in.

   Carefully place the breaded beef steaks into the hot oil, frying them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

   Ongeveer 2 min
