Default Steak Milanese

We went to the dentist in Mexico and we tried Steak Milanese, which
tasted pretty good. I have never made it, but I would love to. If anyone
has a recipe, I would love to see it. For now, it is nice be home.

Have you tried wiener schnitzel? If you have, did you find it very similar? My understanding is that wiener schnitzel may have the roots in Italy.

I thought "steak Milanese" was just the tourist name for weiner
schnitzel in Italy, and more often than not, it is little different
from what most north Americans would call a "hockey puck"
as opposed to actual weiner schnitzel.

In northern Mexico, bistec milanesa is chicken fried steak without the
gravy. The coating was never very thick like you get here in the Central
Valley. It was always quite good as the beef is flavorful down there.

I wish my dentist offered steak.

There's a debate going on, obviously everybody wants the paternity of that
dish. There are some differences too, the Shcnitzel is made from a boneless
veal slice while the Milanese is from a veal chop with the bone.
A documented Schnitzel exuisted before the first documented apparition of
the Milanese, but it was not breaded: just floured. Then there's a report
from general Radetzky, who J. Strauss tributed with a famous march, who had
a cutlet in Milan which was washed in beaten eggs and "differently from the
Austrian Schnitzel" was breaded. Then there's a document from 1148, quoted
bu teh historian Pietro Verri, where is described a solemn lunch where the
third course was "lombos *** panitio" aka breaded veal chops. This would set
the title to Milan but a quoted source isn't certain as a concrete source.
So the debate goes one, while historians search for sources and people eat
cutlets

The Wiener Schnitzel is pounded thin*, but what about the Milanese?

*At least in my experience.

I've never made it, let's be honest - I've never ordered it either,
but I see it's made with cube steak so I might try this recipe

I have become entranced by Mexican food and I especially enjoy milanesa. However the steak they use is very thin and I am not sure what kind it is. Perhaps someone could shed some light on the subject?

Maybe on the Rachel Ray show but if you actually go to Mexico you would
find it made with pounded thin beef.

The Milanese is a local cut of meat here. It's a very, very thin slice
of beef, probably round or sirloin. They bread it and shallow-fry it
like a cutlet, schnitzel, what have you. I do not believe it is pounded,
just sliced almost wafer-thin. There is also a chicken version made
from thin sliced chicken breast.

I'm on the US side of the border where Becca went to Mexico.

No debate. The paternity is in Vienna.

Most Milanese I've had were pork.

Yes, but that't the name of the cut. "Schnitz" means "cut, slice",
"Schnitzel"
is the diminuitive "little slice".

With a mixture of egg and grated Parmiggiano.

Which also could mean veal chops with small rolls. Medieval Latin and
Italian
is rather diffuse.

Not cutlets, Schnitzel ;-)

I know, but what matters here is that the Schnitzel pre-milanese was not
breaded, it appeared in its breaded form only AFTER the milanese

And then what do we discover? Nowadays Schnitzel is breaded just like a
milanese

In fact the best source is Radetzky.

I sometimes cook some chicken cutlets and jave them in soft breadrolls.

Thanks. Is that the same cut people call a minute steak?

I don't believe so. Milanese is thinner than minute steak.

I have traveled all over the US and found that cuts of meat available in
one part of the country are not in other parts of the country. For
example, you will be hard pressed to find a tri-tip on the east coast.
Never even heard of one until I went to Southern California.

The only place I can find the slightly boomerang-shaped "London Broil"
cut is in the Mid-Atlantic area.

There are cuts of meat here on the border that are decidedly Mexican or
Tex-Mex in origin.

Until we traveled extensively while living in the RV, I had no idea that
meat cuts were different from one geographic/cultural area to another.

Thanks for the recipe. They say steak milanese is popular in Mexico, and
different chefs are known for their breading, which they say, makes
their dish unique. Ours was so lightly breaded, you could barely tell
it was there. I enjoyed it.

That is pure gobbledygook, without specifying which section of beef
your minute steak remark is meaningless. Milanese is typically
prepared from thinner cuts of cube steak, which of course can be from
several different cuts of beef, usually the poorer parts of round.
Minute steak can also be from several sections, but minute steak is
from more tender cuts and is thinner than cubed steak. Milaneses is
merely breaded cube steak, very similar to chicken fried. Milanese
can be thiner or thicker, depending on how it will be cooked.

>I have traveled all over the US and found that cuts of meat available in

There are several names for the same cuts... you need to educate
yourself... there is much information about meat on the net and were
you truly interested there are infinite books on meat cuts and which
names are used at different locations.

>For example, you will be hard pressed to find a tri-tip on the east coast.

I'm positive that there is lots you haven't heard of.

So, for most of your life you lived under the same rock.

Yeah, the cattle in each location have a different anatomy. LOL
It's easy to find tri-tip everywhere, just ask the meat cutter.
http://www.askthemeatman.com/tri-tip.htm

There are many cuts of beef that use place names that vary from place
to place (California added to a cut is popular) but they are all
talking the very same cut.

Do you have a meat cut called "filete"? What other name would you give
it?

I was in a Mexamerican butcher shop a long time ago, and I got the
idea that filete was their air-dried beef, but I suspect I was
mistaken.

In Chicago, London broil was flank steak sliced thinly against the
grain and rolled into coils. We had flat bone and wedge bone sirloin
steaks. In California, London Broil is a lump of round, sirloin steaks
are boneless, and there are "Market steaks."

Vilco, buddy --

Is the milanese flattened? If so, what keeps the bone from being
shattered?

It was Los Gallos Taqueria on International Boulevard. I noticed they
also had a butcher shop, which was located up the street.

Aren't you in the SFBA? There are no market steaks where I shop, but
what's available at the butcher counter often varies. I remember when
I lived in Palo Alto, exactly *one* market had a divine beef roast
they called it a "Jewish Filet". It was made up of tail ends of
some mystery muscle (I suspected filet, but that was never confirmed)
and the pieces were tied together to form one large roast. I never
found it anywhere else and no butcher working elsewhere has even heard
of it.

We don't have anything called that. It's a very, very thinly sliced
piece of either round or sirloin.

thanks. I might just check it out. Was hoping it was in Nuevo Progreso

I'll have a house guest in early November and we will go to Nuevo
Progreso one day. I thought I'd take her to lunch there. I like Angel's
all the way upstairs, and the Red Snapper. Arturo's has the nicest
ambiance.

There are two version of cotoletta alla milanese: cotoletta and orecchia
d'elefante (elephant's ear). The first one is the traditional one, with its
bone and no flattening. The second gets its name from the shape it assumes
during cooking, since there's not a bone to keep it flat, and this second
one gets flattened.
Many elders from Milan think the elephant ear is just a *******ization of
the real one which is the bone-in, non-flattened cotoletta.

How rude, I read all the thread and also participated but forgot to answer
your question.

Grated dried-up bread
A slice of veal lombata* with bone
Clarified butter or peanut oil
beaten eggs
Optional: grated aged cheese

Beat the eggs, wash the slices of meat into it, pass them into a bowl with
the grated dried bread, toss into frying pan in 1/2 inch of oil/butter until
golden to brown on both sides. Serve as hot as you can and make sure to have
a lemon ready at the table.
Someone seasons the breadcrumbs with grated aged cheese or minced garlic
and/or parsley.

Actually Milanese is NOT a cut of meat, Milanese is a cooking method;
a la Milan.

They mean "prepared to cook as," you dolt. In the meat department
where I shop, I can buy fajitas, stew beef, kebabs, and stir fry beef.

If you're that lonely, try volunteering at a soup kitchen.

I won't argue with you that your version is correct. It's just that they
don't know that here and call the cut of meat "Milanese"

You're obviously desperate for human interaction of any kind, so why
not help those less fortunate than you? Beats holding the door open at
McDonald's for tips, right?

And, "Brooklyn" was rather pointlessly arguing with how a meat
department chose to label a cut of beef. While still stupid, he could
have more profitably asked for the grocery store's number so he could
call and berate them.

We ate lunch at Arturo's on Friday, I had enchiladas with salsa verde.
We went to Angel's one night and it was very good, nobody else was there
but us; they must have a busy lunch crowd. I like Red Snapper, too.

I had a wonderful pedicure at Mariel's, I had Ely and he was the
greatest. I got his card and I will go back to him, for sure. It was
$15, which is high for Nuevo Progeso, but it was well worth it. They do
not have a good polish selection, but I can bring my own.
