Treat your ingredients with care...
- Beef cutlets — For the best results, choose tender cuts of beef such as sirloin or ribeye. Pound the cutlets gently to ensure even thickness before breading.
- Extremaduran-style migas — To make the migas, fry breadcrumbs in olive oil with garlic and diced bacon until crispy. Add any additional ingredients such as chorizo or peppers for extra flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the cutlets to achieve a crispy exterior.
- Allow the cutlets to rest for a few minutes after frying to retain their juiciness.
- Serve the dish with a squeeze of lemon juice for a refreshing twist.
Serving advice
Serve the Extremaduran-style Beef Cutlets hot and crispy alongside a generous portion of Extremaduran-style migas. Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
Presentation advice
Arrange the golden-brown cutlets on a platter, placing them slightly overlapping. Sprinkle some breadcrumbs over the top for an extra touch of texture. Serve the migas in a separate bowl or alongside the cutlets for a visually appealing presentation.
