Steps:
- Heat Oil.
- Salt and Pepper flour on one plate.
- Make Egg Wash.
- Crush Saltines, I use a food processor, adding in garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. Put crumbs on another plate. (No need to add salt as the saltines are salty enough.).
- I usually cut the steaks in half to fit in the frying pan, but you can leave them in one big piece if the steaks will fit in yours.
- Dip steak in flour, then egg then cover with saltine crumbs.
- Fry in oil for about 3-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. It won't take long because the steaks are so thin.
- Drain on Paper Towels.
- OPTIONAL: Serve with Avocado, Pico de Gallo, Salad, Rice and/or Beans and sprinkle steaks with lemon juice.

MEXICAN-STYLE PEPPER STEAK
Shaved steak is not a staple of Mexican cuisine. Most cooks prefer the slightly thicker beef milanesa cut, similar to minute steak. But Memo Pinedo, the proprietor of a restaurant and a food truck in Houston, both called Jarro Cafe, appreciates Angus beef sliced from sirloin for his tacos de bistec. It's so thin he can cook it in steam coming off a skillet of sizzling onions, tomatoes and jalapeños.

Steps:
- In each of 2 large skillets, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and add half of the onion, tomatoes, bell pepper and chilies, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add half of the broth and bay leaves to each skillet and bring to a simmer. Lay beef slices over top, season with salt and pepper and cook, turning beef once, until it loses its pink color, about 3 minutes total. Transfer meat to a platter or plates. Simmer pan juices until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon vegetables and juices over the beef and sprinkle with cilantro.

MILANESA DE RES
Everyone who knows my grandma loves her Milanesa empanizada (breaded Milanese). I learned how to cook thanks to her, and when I was 7 years old I learned how to cook this Milanesa de res recipe. I consider this recipe a basic on Mexican cuisine. You're gonna love it! You can serve this with French fries, rice, refried beans, or a salad (we use lettuce, tomato, avocado, and cucumber slices with a twist of lemon). Corn or flour tortillas go great with all this.

Steps:
- Crack eggs in a medium bowl and beat slightly with a fork or whisk. Set aside. Place smashed crackers on a plate big enough for the steak.
- Season steak with salt and pepper and soak in the beaten egg. Transfer to the smashed crackers and cover both sides with the crackers using a spoon; you can press a little bit with the spoon so that the crackers stick better.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom half of the steaks. Cook 2 steaks in the hot oil until crackers have turned light golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until golden and meat is no longer pink, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining steaks.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: For the best results, use a thin cut of steak, such as flank steak or skirt steak. These cuts are tender and flavorful, and they cook quickly.
- Tenderize the steak: To make the steak even more tender, you can pound it with a meat mallet before cooking. This will help to break down the muscle fibers and make the steak more tender.
- Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids will help to enhance the flavor of the meat. You can use a variety of marinades, but some popular options include olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs such as oregano or thyme.
- Cook the steak over high heat: To get a nice sear on the steak, cook it over high heat. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Let the steak rest before serving: After cooking the steak, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.
Conclusion:
Mexican steak milanesa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
