    About this recipe

    The absolute icon of Buenos Aires bodegones (diners).

    Ironically, 'Milanesa a la Napolitana' exists in neither Milan nor Naples; it was born in 1940s Argentina at a restaurant named 'Napoli'.

    It is a celebration of abundance: a thin, breaded, crispy fried beef cutlet (the milanesa), crowned with tomato sauce, cooked ham, and an avalanche of melted mozzarella, then broiled until bubbly golden.

    It must be served with a mountain of hand-cut french fries.

    Instructions

    1
    Step 1

    Step 1

    THE EGG MIX ('Huevada'): In a deep bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add mustard, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of oregano. This is the secret to flavoring the meat from the inside.

    You will need:

    3 unitsLarge eggs1 tablespoonDijon or classic mustardTo tasteSalt, black pepper, and dried oregano

    Step 2

    Step 2

    BREADING: Prepare a tray with the garlic-parsley breadcrumbs. Pass each steak through the egg mix, then coat in breadcrumbs. Press down firmly with your palm so the coating adheres perfectly and won't puff off during frying.

    You will need:

    4 large steaks (approx. 800 g)Thin beef steaks (top round or sirloin), tenderized300 gBreadcrumbs mixed with fine minced garlic & parsley

    Step 3

    Step 3

    THE FRIES: Peel and cut potatoes into medium batons. Wash under cold water to remove exterior starch, then dry meticulously with a clean towel. This guarantees crispy, non-stick fries.

    You will need:

    800 g (approx. 4 potatoes)Large potatoes for frying

    Step 4

    Step 4

    FRYING THE POTATOES: Heat abundant oil in a wide pan or fryer to 170ºC. Fry potatoes in batches until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and salt IMMEDIATELY.

    You will need:

    1 literSunflower or corn oil (for frying)
    5
    Step 5

    Step 5

    FRYING THE MILANESA: In the same hot oil (or another pan), deep-fry the breaded steaks just 2-3 minutes per side until intensely golden brown. Drain on paper towels. They shouldn't be fully cooked; the oven will finish them.

    Step 6

    Step 6

    NAPOLITANA ASSEMBLY: Preheat oven to 220ºC (very hot, broiler on if possible). Place fried milanesas on a large baking sheet (no parchment). Cover centers generously with tomato sauce, leaving the crispy edges clean.

    You will need:

    200 mlTomato sauce or tomato puree seasoned with oregano

    Step 7

    Step 7

    THE BROIL: Place a slice of ham over the sauce on each milanesa. Bury everything under an avalanche of mozzarella. Broil in the upper part of the oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese is fully melted, bubbling, and spotted golden.

    You will need:

    4 thick slicesCooked ham slices300 gMozzarella or cuartirolo cheese, thickly sliced or grated
