Minced meat schnitzel in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To begin with, we will prepare all the necessary ingredients for cooking minced meat schnitzels cooked in a frying pan. Minced meat should be taken from pork and beef in equal quantities. If you make only pork, it will turn out to be too fat. And if you use only beef, then the schnitzels will turn out very dry and tough. If you have only beef in stock, be sure to add lard to it, for juiciness and softness.

2. Step 2:

   

   Put the minced meat in a bowl, salt and pepper to taste. Of course, you can add other spices, but here I would recommend only pepper.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix the minced meat well and start beating it off. To do this, we collect the minced meat in the palm of our hand, lift it over the bowl and throw it back. Repeat this procedure about 20 times. This is necessary so that the minced meat is compacted and saturated with air, because we do not introduce any additional products for the bundle.

4. Step 4:

   

   Divide the minced meat into five identical parts, and form flat patties.

5. Step 5:

   

   Now we take a plastic wrap and put one cutlet on the edge. We close it with the other side and knead the cutlet in a circle into a thin, flat schnitzel.

6. Step 6:

   

   Wash the eggs, break them into a flat bowl and shake with a fork until smooth.

8. Step 7:

   

   Put the resulting schnitzel in the beaten eggs and lubricate the top. It is better to do this without turning the schnitzel over so that it does not spill, after all, we have minced meat. Just lubricate the top with your fingers or with a brush.

9. Step 8:

   

   Using a wide spatula, we shift the schnitzel into breadcrumbs and pan on both sides. If you want a thick crust, then take finely ground breadcrumbs.

10. Step 9:

    

    Put the frying pan on medium heat, pour one tablespoon of odorless vegetable oil and heat. Put our schnitzel and fry for 3-5 minutes.

11. Step 10:

    

    Turn over and fry the second side for another 3-4 minutes, until the schnitzel is ready. We do the same with all made schnitzels. And to make them look delicious every time, after each schnitzel, we wipe the pan from the burnt crackers and oil residues.

12. Step 11:

    

    We transfer the finished schnitzels to plates and immediately serve them on the table. They can be served with any side dish, especially delicious with mashed potatoes. Or you can just serve it with herbs or vegetables, it will also be very tasty.

13. Step 12:

    

    Bon appetit.
