Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 4-5 oz each) Beef sirloin steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 cups (fresh or frozen) Corn kernels
- 1 medium (diced) Red bell pepper
- 1 small (minced) Jalapeño
- 1 small (diced) Red onion
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for relish)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Season the beef sirloin steaks evenly on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs.
Coat each steak in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Place the breaded steaks on a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to set the coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry each steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.
To make the smoky corn relish, heat olive oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add the corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to char, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the red bell pepper, jalapeño, and red onion. Cook for another 3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in smoked paprika, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Cook for 1 more minute and remove from heat.
Serve the milanesa steaks warm with a generous spoonful of smoky corn relish on top or on the side.
