I used to eat that steak once a week. I was always served with a few slices of lemon to squeeze over the meat. Same plate setup. Little tiny restaurant with 6 tables. An older couple who converted the front of the house to seating. Sadly when the old man passed away Mama Rosa closed the place down. His funeral was very big, every one who ate at their place was family no matter who you were. Watching you make these beefsteak brought back a lot of fond memories. BTW I'm a white man who speaks nada Spanish. But I almost lived at their house because of how nice they were. Mama made me steak one last time before she passed away also a year later. I make the same dish every year in memory and I always include a slice of lemon.
I made pasta with salsa verde on a particularly busy weeknight once and was honestly impressed with how good it was. Did no expect those two to actually go together
@Twisted Logic heck yes!! Amazing how last minute recipes/inventions come out freaking awesome. The deal is remembering what ingredients you used. Well in my case🤭🤭
It's a staple in Argentina, where my dad is from. It's something so simple yet delicious. My ma would use stale bread to make the bread crumbs. They don't do a batter in Argentina though it's basically just the thin beef, egg wash, and seasoned bread crumbs. We ate it with lemon or mayo, and often served it with bread to make a sandwich or pasta. Best part was the trimmings from the meat was saved and used to make this stew that I can't remember the name of. It was basically just the beef trimmings and chicken broth, with rice being added once the beef was fully cooked. Man, I miss my childhood, got to make some milanessa some day. Maybe some empanada too.
Wow Arnie YUMMO!!!!!! You know when I had it in Juarez, they'd spread mustard on the meat then bread it with the crackers, "DEEP" fry the sucker like 3min. Delish. I make a chile con queso with poblanos,habaneros,garlic( plenty),green onion, tomatoes. Sautee in oil with chicken knorr,water. When cooked thickend up, add plenty of jack cheese. Pour over the milanesa!!!!! Ohhhhhhhhhh hell yea!!!!!! That"Mexican"gravy is the bomb!!! Try it my friend NETA!!!! Your not only gonna happy dance, TE VAS A AVENTAR UN ZAPATIADO!!!!!!🤭🤭🤭😆😆. and dip them texas size frys in that sauce too. Many blessings from el paso tx💚
I had a feeling milanesa was schnitzel once i found out what it was. Another hidden German influence in Texas/North Mexico. Now i wanna try actual German Schnitzel
used to be a place that served a version of Milenesa with a chili relleno split open, cheese side down then ranchera over it all. it was called Bocho's Special. Bocho was the owner's brother. Boy it was good!
Lol they see the Tio come home after doing 2 engine swaps on a Chevy and they asked him to make a video on how to cook .. I’m trying this today aver Que pedo con la milanesa
Man some homemade sausage gravy and a couple fried eggs with that would be epic !! Love the videos Arnie. Im glad you gave props to the chef. Well done my friend.
The interesting thing about milanesa or chicken fried steak is that they are based on Austrian/German shnitzel. As you know there is a ton of German influence in Texas. I am sure that is how chicken fried steak came about. BTW, Italians also make a milanesa, that is probably where it got it's name, Milan, IT.
Great video. I'm Cuban and my Abuela and my mother would make us something similar. But we called it Bistec Empanizado. Haven't had it in years. Going to have to make Milanesa de Res and see if it tastes like what I had as a kid. Looks almost identical.
This looks good. I have never had that. You're my go to channel for BBQ information. Enjoy all your content. Was wondering what you thought about that ProPit Torpedo smoker. Not a lot of information out there. I want to eventually purchase some sort of smoker. Just looking around for now. I have no experience. The smoker looked interesting.
I went to a Mexican restaurant in Dolores Colorado and ordered a torta de milanesa and they didn't know what I was talking about. So I got a chili verde burrito. Most of the staff spoke Spanish so I have no idea where they were from. The Mexican restaurant down the street has tortas so I'll go there next.
Can you make Hispanic Philly cheesesteak? Just curious, I can’t stand bell peppers, so I make mine with jalapeño and onions, but would love to see your take on it! Everything you make is amazing ✌️
Me too, green bell peppers😖.I use roasted poblanos and grill them together with slice onion and mushrooms in the same meat drippings. WOW!!! And grill the bread in the same pan with a little mayo. 🤗. Ohhh and slices asadero cheese.Just a suggestion 🙃
I just finished my lunch while watching this and im hungry again. That looks incredible. Milanesa huh? Well, thats for dinner. Great job brother. Happy friday everyone.
I like your pan. Is it carbon steel? Where did you get it? I want to buy one online, but It's hard to visualize the size and I really haven't looked, but can't find a decent pan in stores without it being nonstick.
I live in SW New Mexico and the meat markets sell this cut here. I've asked 200 people what its for because its so thin. Until now, I could not get an answer as what its intended purpose. Now I know and wil be doing this recipe, except I think i'll use the flat top outside. And those potatoes......dang, looks great boss
My grandma would always make chicken and steak milanesas and they were honestly my favorite thang and what made me look forward to going to my grandma’s house
In my family we didn't bread them or pound them. Just fry them as-is with a bit of salt, pepper, garlic and then slice the cooked meat into thin strips to put in a bolillo with mayo, maybe some shredded lettuce, and salsa as milanesa steak sandwiches. If i make it myself these days, before cooking I also trim out the big veins of connective tissue or whatever that stuff is that's impossible to chew.
1) La milanesa no es de México, es una receta argentina (derivada de una receta italiana que a su vez es derivada de otra receta alemana) 2) Si hacés una milanesa de esa forma en Argentina vas preso
Thought Milanesa was simply a thinner cut of meat. Understandably it is used for different recipes...but i only found it because I enjoy making homemade beef jerky (just the perfect selection for it in my opinion).....BUT THIS....gonna try this. Thanks for introducing me to a different recipe....keep'um coming
Arni..you are the best part of what America is all about. This country can’t survive without good homemade Mexican food!! Sharing your family recipes and heritage is a nice gift to all of us. Thanks.
Just found your channel and glad that I did. We had Chicken and bistek milanesas this past weekend, My nephew got down with them. I will try your style with crackers. YUM..... Para dentro...
Note to self: Don't watch your videos when my lunch is only a salad!!! And you're right, most people flatten the stakes before breading, just like mi santa suegra does. Thank you for demonstrating a different cooking method. Buen provecho.
I was never fully satisfied with the way my milanesa came out. This helped out alot. I made some for my wife and I and it turned out great! Thanks for the tip.
One of my favorite Mexican dishes. I ate Milanesa many times in traveling around Sonora. Probably the only food I like better in Mexico is Camerones al mojo de ajo. Thanks for some great videos on how to cook delicious foods!!!
0:56 "Let's get these crackers in here..." "Hey, watch it! I will NOT be treated in such a brutish fashion, sir!" "Charles, this is positively GHASTLY the way we are being shoved about!" "I am going to call the Chief of Police! We golf together! You're going to JAIL!" "Do you know who my father is?!" "Don't put me in the corner; I have a reservation, for Christ's sake!" "Oh, this is SO stressful in here! I need to call my mom!" "My uncle is the Assistant Director of the Mayor's Humanity Outreach Program, and he's going to have the Mayor personally FIRE you!" "Better hurry up, Lance, or we'll miss the Tee-off on the Back Course. You brought your GOOD clubs, yes?" B-R-R-Z-R-R-Z-R-R-Z-R-R-Z-R-R-Z-R-R-Z-R-R-Z-R-R-Z-R-R-Z-R-R-Z...!
@@ArnieTex Thank you for that reply. By the way, I love your videos and your recipes. I was raised in the SE corner of Arizona and close to San Luis on the border with 🇲🇽. Therefore I love Mexican food. However, Tex-Mex is slightly different in flavor. It’s still delicious.
