Breaded Steak (Bistec Empanizado)
By: Manami
Dec 18, 2005
We usually eat this at Lila's Restaurant & it served with julienned fried potato sticks, maduros(fried ripe plantains) and white fluffy rice, a Cuban regular with all meals. I ususally ask for tomato and avocado slices with my steak. Delish! Allow the meat to marinate in special mixture overnight. These make wonderful sandwiches and it can also be eaten cold.

Yum! I used very thin strips of steak about two inches wide. I think they are sirloin. Its the same stuff I use to make braciole and milanese. The marinade was wonderful. It surprised DH at first but he wound up eating FIVE. I served this with Congri (a rice and red bean dish I found on tasteofcuba.com) and plantains. DH had the potato sticks too. Fantastic meal! Thanks for another good one. — Jul 4, 2006 I just wanted to update this by saying that they are indeed good cold and as a sandwich. I had two leftover pieces, one I put on rye bread with mayo and the other I stuck on italian bread with mayo. I didn't heat them up, in fact they sat in the fridge for a few hours as sandwiches b4 I got to them and I enjoyed the heck out of them both days. DH has already requested these again so this is definately a keeper. Going to make them next week for a picnic lunch.

I always make bistec empanizado but only breaded with cracker meal. I made it with flour as well this time and it came out great! Thanks for the recipe.
