Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces thinly sliced beef or chicken cutlets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1.5 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 whole lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Season the beef or chicken cutlets on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls or plates. In the first bowl, place the gluten-free all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In the third bowl, place the gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Coat each cutlet in the flour, ensuring it is lightly but evenly covered. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured cutlets into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Transfer the cutlets to the breadcrumb bowl and press the breadcrumbs onto the surface to ensure each cutlet is fully coated. Set the breaded cutlets aside on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking; you can test it by dropping in a small piece of breadcrumb—it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the breaded cutlets in the oil, working in batches if necessary. Cook each cutlet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free Milanesas immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, if desired.
