Steak Alla Milanese With Dried Manioc


Explanation:
:)
Could also be "Toasted Manioc Flour", but I always like to translate it Dired Manioc.

Steak cutlets dipped in toasted manioc


Explanation:
This is just another suggestion. I do believe Milanesa is common in the USA and would be known as such, but it is similar to veal cutlets and could be described that way as well.

Or "toasted manioc steak cutlets" although it would be great to use the wonderful word "farofa" since manioc is so unusual and unappetizing sounding here.

agree  Elizabeth Lyons: It is, but is such an ugly name in English I would be loathe to put it on a menu. I still think Farofa is the most culinary-like and elegant choice, not manioc. : )
