Tips and Tricks For Milanesa De Res

If you find the flavor to be too simple, you can add other ingredients to this recipe. In Mexico, for instance, it is fairly common to add oregano over the top of it.
A very popular variation worldwide is the cordon bleu milanesa where you introduce ham and cheese on top of the steak. You need to do this before the breading process so that it may become this juicy, spongy treat. Again, some people like to add oregano over the top of this dish.
