Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Eggs | 2 |
| Milk | 1/2 cup |
| Parmesan cheese | 1 cup |
| Romano cheese | 3 tablespoons |
| Fresh parsley | 2 tablespoons |
| Garlic | 2 cloves |
| Salt | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Pepper | 1/8 teaspoon |
| Boneless beef top sirloin steaks | 2 |

Instructions:
-
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
-
In another shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, fresh parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
-
Dip each steak into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, then transfer it to the crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to both sides.
-
In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the breaded steaks into the skillet, working in batches if necessary, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remember, overcooking can result in toughness, so monitor closely.
-
Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
-
Preheat your broiler and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the drained steaks onto the baking sheet.
-
Top each steak with slices of tomato, followed by mozzarella cheese.
-
Place the baking sheet about 4 inches from the heat source and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve the Milanesas hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for a burst of citrus flavor.
