Ingredients
1.5 lbs thin-cut beef steaks (top round or sirloin milanesa-style cuts)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar or lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
In a bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar (or lemon juice), oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place the steaks in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the steaks for 2–3 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until nicely browned and cooked through.
Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
This version is perfect for keto, paleo, and gluten-free diets.
Serve with chimichurri, a light salad, or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
Try adding a fried egg on top for a “Milanesa a caballo” variation—without the breading!
