Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (each about 5 oz) Beef cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 whole Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Place each beef cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet, pound the beef to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Season both sides of each beef cutlet with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Prepare three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first dish. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Place the breadcrumbs in the third dish.
Dredge each beef cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the cutlet in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is shimmering.
Add the breaded beef cutlets to the skillet, ensuring they are not crowded. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook the schnitzels in batches.
Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil and keep them warm in a low oven if necessary while you finish cooking.
Serve the beef schnitzels hot with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
