Milanesa is a popular fried steak in Uruguay.  Milanesa Napolitana is believed to have become popular after being served at a restaurant called Napoli in Buenos Aires. I followed tradition by serving it with French Fries. 

This was a delicious dinner.  I had planned on pairing it with Tannat wine from Uruguay however they did not arrive in time.  Instead I poured a Barbera from Italy and it was an amazing pairing.  I will be sharing that with you later this month. 

I have never had this dish before.  It reminded me of veal or chicken parmesan.  Beef cutlets here in the Midwest are called chip steaks for those who, like me, are unaware.  The recipe called for slices of deli ham.  I used leftover Easter ham.  My fresh bread crumbs were made from whole wheat bread as that was what I had on hand. I did not use shredded Mozzarella but, rather slices of fresh Mozzarella.
