Summary

Ingredients

• Beef (fillet or thigh) – 1 kg
• Chicken eggs – 2 pcs.
• Cream – 2 tbsp
• Vegetable oil – 250 g
• Salt – 1 teaspoon
• Ground black or white pepper – 0.5 teaspoon
• Flour – for breading
• Breadcrumbs

Instructions

1. We prepare the necessary products according to the recipe for beef schnitzel.
2. Break two eggs into a bowl, add one teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper and two tablespoons of cream, mix.
3. Wash one kilogram of beef fillet and dry it with a kitchen towel. We release tendons and films. Cut across the fibers into 180-200 gram pieces.

   

4. We beat off schnitzels well from both sides.
5. Pour 250 milliliters of vegetable oil into the pan
6. We bread the Viennese schnitzel on both sides, alternately dipping eggs mixed with cream and bread crumbs in flour. Fry the Viennese schnitzel in hot oil on both sides, over high heat for about 3-5 minutes. While frying, move the pan with careful movements so that the breading is beautifully fried.

   

7. Schnitzels, fried until golden brown, put on kitchen paper to drain excess fat. Lightly coat with soft butter and serve with lemon slices, parsley and boiled or baked potatoes.

Bon appetit!
