Milanesas a la Napolitana
By Rodrigo Alonso
INGREDIENTS:
4 thinly sliced skillet steaks, such as top round
3 eggs
1 teaspoon oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/3 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
1/2 cup tomato sauce
4 slices of deli ham
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
PREPARATION:
Place the eggs in a shallow bowl or pan, and whisk them together with the oregano and some salt and pepper. Stir the Parmesan cheese and garlic into the bread crumbs and place them in another shallow pan. Dip the steaks first in the egg mixture, then in the bread crumbs, coating them well with the crumbs. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet, and cook steaks for several minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Drain steaks on paper towels. Place steaks on a baking sheet. Turn on oven broiler. Top each steak with a slice of ham, 2-3 tablespoons tomato sauce, and 1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the cheese and place steaks under broiler until cheese melts. Serve warm, with fries.
