Why Milanesa deserves more attention

Milanesa rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The richly caramelised complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using beef asado cuts correctly takes real skill.

the asado is an Argentinian social institution as much as a cooking technique. I encountered it first in a parrilla grill restaurant and that context helped me understand it properly. yerba mate is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Milanesa is the dish to start with.
