Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 thin beef cutlets
- 1 cup of flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of bread crumbs
- 4 cups of cooked white rice
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup of vegetable oil

Instructions
- Season the beef cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs.
- Dredge each beef cutlet in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded beef cutlets and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- In the same skillet, fry the potato slices until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In a separate skillet, fry the eggs to your desired doneness.
- To serve, divide the cooked rice among four plates. Top each with a fried beef cutlet, a portion of fried potatoes, and a fried egg. Enjoy hot.
Bolivian Silpancho is a beloved traditional dish that originated in the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia. This hearty meal consists of a thin, breaded and fried beef cutlet, served over a bed of rice and topped with a layer of fried eggs, sliced tomatoes, and onions. The dish is often accompanied by a generous serving of llajwa, a spicy Bolivian salsa. Silpancho is said to have been created by a local chef in Cochabamba, who wanted to combine the flavors of traditional Bolivian cuisine with a touch of European influence. Today, the best Silpancho can be found in local eateries and markets throughout Cochabamba, where chefs take pride in perfecting this iconic dish. The key to a delicious Silpancho lies in the crispy, golden-brown breading of the beef cutlet and the flavorful combination of fresh toppings. For a unique twist, some chefs also incorporate a layer of creamy mashed potatoes beneath the rice, adding an extra layer of richness to the dish. Whether enjoyed in a bustling market or a cozy restaurant, Bolivian Silpancho is a must-try for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Bolivian cuisine.
