NOTES
1. - Tenderloin
Also called beef tenderloin, it is the most tender piece of beef. You can replace it with roast beef, sirloin steak, top round steak, or diamond (tenderloin) fillet.
Before preparing it, let the tenderloin come to room temperature for 15 minutes. This way it cooks evenly inside and out. Dry the tenderloin on the outside before putting it in the pan. This prevents the splashing of oil or butter
Baking time guideline:
2. - Ham Deli ham was chosen in this recipe because it has a lot of flavors. 3. - Tomatoes You only need very little tomato for this dish, but it is really a seasoning. So try to select the tastiest tomato for this. 4. Serve with Milanesas a la Napolitana is delicious with spaghetti, french fries or fried potatoes, and a salad. 5. - Storage It is better not to keep this recipe. The crispy crust becomes soft during storage and that is less tasty. What to do if you have any leftovers? Cut into strips, fry until warm, and put together with some lettuce, bell pepper, and extra tomato in a wrap. Delicious for lunch. 6. - Nutritional Value The nutritional information shown are per serving.
