Steak Milanesa

Steak Milanesa is much loved Argentine meal that is quick and easy to make. I enjoy my Argento Bonarda with this dish comprised of thin, juicy steak that’s lightly breaded. A native varietal to Argentina, Bonarda exhibits a fresh floral and rich red fruit characters with a touch of spice, perfect to enjoy with Steak Milanesa. Salud!
