Quick fact about breaded beef fillets (or milanesas!)
In Latin America serving the steak or fries with an egg on top is a style called ‘a caballo’. Even though it can cause an instant heart attack…it’s worth it! You can also add cheese and marinara sauce on top. This version is called “Napolitana”, and it’s an Argentinian one! If you want to learn more recipes from this country, click here.
