Milanesa a la Napolitana (Beef Cutlets) - Italy 🇮🇹

Post by Chowhound »

4 beef cutlets sirloin, tenderloin, (½ inch / 1 cm thick), tenderized
2 cups breadcrumbs
4 eggs beaten
1 clove garlic minced
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon oregano
4 slices ham
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
4 slices mozzarella
½ cup tomato coulis
Vegetable oil for frying

Season the beef with salt, pepper, Parmesan, garlic and oregano, rubbing well with the hands so the meat soaks up the flavors. Dip the beef cutlets in the eggs, then coat with the breadcrumbs. Heat a large volume of vegetable oil in a frying pan to a temperature of 340 F (170ºC). Fry the beef cutlets on both sides until they are golden brown. Set them aside on a plate lined with paper towel to remove excess oil. Preheat the oven to 350 F (180ºC). Pour the tomato coulis into a large bowl. Dip all the freshly fried cutlets in the coulis and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. On each slice of meat, place a slice of ham and a slice of mozzarella. Bake 5 minutes in the oven or until everything is browned. Serve with French fries or white rice and a green salad.
