Steps:
- Begin heating oil in skillet on medium heat on the stove top.
- In shallow casserole or pie dish, stir together breadcrumbs and spices, set aside.
- In another shallow casserole or pie dish, whisk eggs until well blended, set aside.
- Sprinkle flour on both sides of each steak.
- Working with one steak at a time (using gloves, if you like), dip each steak in egg then in breadcrumb mixture. Set steaks aside on a baking sheet so they're not touching.
- Once all steaks are covered and the oil is hot, cook one steak at a time. Place in the oil and cook for 1-2 minutes if the steaks are 1/8" thick or 2-3 minutes if the steaks are 1/4" thick. Using tongs, turn and repeat.
- Remove steaks to drain on paper towels.
- This meal is typically served with French fries when plated or can be made into fajita style tacos or sandwiches. I've shown it with a tomato pico de gallo and a rounded scoop of polenta, garnished with cilantro and lime slices for squeezing a bit of lime juice on top when serving.

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:

- Serve the milanesa de res with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad.
