Milanesas (breaded beef fillet)

Beside the famous empanadas, my milanesas are gaining popularity among my clients these days. This delicious "comfort food" is the  the most served dish in every home in Argentina. Moreover, all kids will be looking forward to go to a restaurant to order no other than milanesas con papas fritas (French fries).   
Milanesas are made of a thin slice of veal, beef or chicken tenderized and then dipped into beaten eggs, coated with bread crumbs. Served with a squeeze of lemon…fantastic hot or at room temperature.
We eat them in sandwiches or as a dish in different ways: a caballo (on horse) with fried eggs on top, Maryland (ham, cream of corn, roasted red pepper, and fried banana), Napolitana (ham, cheese and tomato sauce).
I recently made milanesas de cerdo (pork) with bread, tomato, lettuce, and of course! Chimichurri for a big party in Downtown San Diego. Guests made their own sandwiches. Delicious, different and economical option for finger food parties.
