Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 4-5 oz each) Beef sirloin steak
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 cups (fresh or frozen) Corn kernels
• 1 medium (diced) Red bell pepper
• 1 small (minced) Jalapeño
• 1 small (diced) Red onion
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for relish)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef sirloin steaks evenly on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Coat each steak in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Place the breaded steaks on a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to set the coating.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry each steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

Step 5

To make the smoky corn relish, heat olive oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add the corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to char, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the red bell pepper, jalapeño, and red onion. Cook for another 3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 7

Stir in smoked paprika, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Cook for 1 more minute and remove from heat.

Step 8

Serve the milanesa steaks warm with a generous spoonful of smoky corn relish on top or on the side.
