Beef Milano Recipes

BEEF MILANESA

Steps:

• Pound boneless steaks thin, ¼ inch.
• In a shallow soup plate or pan, beat the egg very well. In a second shallow pan mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Put the bread crumbs in a third shallow pan. Line up the bowls in this order: flour, egg, crumbs.
• Dust the meat lightly with flour, dip into the beaten egg, and coat with bread crumbs. Put the breaded meat on a plate lined with wax paper and refrigerate about 1 hour.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil to a depth of about ¼ inch.
• Fry the meat until brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Squeeze lime juice over each piece of meat, if desired.

BEEF MILANO

Steps:

• In Dutch oven or heavy saucepan, heat oil and brown garlic until golden; add meat and brown well.
• Stir in onion recipe soup mix, tomato paste, flour, chili powder, oregano, water and tomatoes.
• Bring to boil while stirring, then simmer, covered, 2 to 2-1/2 hours, or until meat is tender.
• If desired, serve with hot, buttered noodles and grated Parmesan cheese.

RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE

Steps:

• Melt half of the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Simmer the onion and beef marrow in the butter for about 10 minutes. When the onion is soft, remove the onion and marrow from the pan using a slotted spoon, and set aside. (I like to leave the onions in.)
• Saute the rice in the pan over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Stir constantly so the rice will not stick and burn. Stir in one ladle of beef stock, and keep stirring until it is mostly absorbed, ladling and stirring in more of the broth as well as the white wine in the same manner, until the rice is almost al dente. Stir in the saffron, remaining butter, and 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 4 or 5 minutes.
• Serve as a bed for ossibuchi or by itself with as much of the remaining Parmesan cheese sprinkled over as you like.
