Tips:

  • For the best schnitzel, use high-quality beef, such as top sirloin or tenderloin.
  • Tenderize the beef with a meat mallet or rolling pin before breading it.
  • Use a light touch when breading the beef; too much breading will make the schnitzel tough.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the schnitzel; otherwise, the breading will absorb too much oil.
  • Fry the schnitzel in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan.
  • Don't overcook the schnitzel; it should be cooked through but still juicy.
  • Serve the schnitzel immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or cucumber salad.
