About Milanese steak

Milanese Steak is a traditional Italian dish originating from the Lombardy region. It is typically made by coating a tenderized beef or veal cutlet in beaten egg, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese before frying it until golden brown. Its crunchy exterior and delicate, juicy interior make it a beloved choice in Italian cuisine. While rich in protein due to the meat base, Milanese Steak is generally high in calories and saturated fats because of the frying process and breadcrumb coating. Pairing it with a fresh side salad or roasted vegetables adds fiber and nutrients, making it a more balanced meal. For a lighter version, baking the steak instead of frying reduces fat content significantly, while using whole-grain breadcrumbs offers additional nutritional benefits. This flavorful dish is a staple of comfort food but should be consumed in moderation as part of a well-rounded diet.
