One of my husband's favorite foods is Schnitzels or Milanesas Argentinas, called Escalopas in Argentina or Chile. My mother-in-law is from Argentina, and her mother was famous for this recipe. My husband cooked them. They are better than the ones I have done.Argentinian Milanesas Schnitzels

When we came to live in the U.S., my mother-in-law taught me some of her classic dishes, including these Milanesas.

Since I don't like the greasy smell inside my kitchen, we use a grill with a side burner. We make them outside, and it is most practical.

What to serve with Milanesas?

Potato fries, potato salad (Ensalada Rusa), or a lettuce-based salad are classic side dishes for Milanesas.
NEVER served with gravy. Believe me is not a thing there.
