The Technique

Mexican Beef Milanesa Tortas

Mexican Beef Milanesa made with beef chuck shoulder steaks may be layered with an array of familiar ingredients over homemade Buttermilk Bolillo rolls for a delicious classic torta. A quick crema may be replicated by draining off a little sour cream to create a thicker consistency to the popular condiment that offers tasty twang to the sandwiches. Spread the sour cream over the bottom halves of the bread then sprinkle with a smattering of kosher salt. Proceed with preparing the sandwiches as instructed. Conversely, look for traditional crema in the dairy case at your local market. Learn how to make Mexican Beef Milanesa Tortas that are perfect to serve anytime.

How To Make Mexican Beef Milanesa Tortas

 A utility or bread knife are the ideal tools to slice homemade bread in half & crisp, pan fried Mexican Beef Milanesa steaks. They may be identified by their serrated blades & are good for slicing through the thick skins of tomatoes & avocados, too. Follow manufacturers instructions for the best method to keep them safe & sharp. 

The Technique 

Look to Cooking Classics: Mexican Beef Milanesa for detailed instruction & photos on how to prepare the steaks. Once they have been pan fried, simply slice each portion into thirds using a utility knife. Two pieces will be necessary in order to build one torta. Therefore, the entire recipe will yield enough to serve six quite easily.
