Schnitzel

SUBMITTED BY: Dianne

"This is a family favorite of ours, my mom got the recipe from a German lady when we lived in Germany. You may use tenderized veal in place of the cube steaks in this recipe."

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup self-rising cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 (4 ounce) beef cube steaks
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs using a fork.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should completely cover the bottom of the skillet. While the oil heats, dip cube steaks into the egg and milk, then dip into the flour mixture, and shake off the excess. Place in the hot skillet.
  3. Fry steaks on each side until golden brown, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until well done. Do not cover. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving.

This, in no way, is a traditional Schnitzel recipe. The traditional German recipe call for the use of pork, specially cut from the loin area. Schnitzel made from beef is nothing but breaded beef!

Really, I'd like to see reviews from folks who have tried recipes, instead of nitpicking about what one has chosen to name a recipe. To be absolutely literal, schnitzel means "cutlet." Traditional schnitzel is made of veal and is known as weiner schnitzel. But, this recipe is accurately named, as it a recipe using cutlets. I have also used a similar recipe to make what I call chicken schnitzel. That said, this recipe is very good. I did add a spice blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to the breading. The whole family loved it.

omit the cornmeal and you have chicken fried steak. Schnitzel means meat with crust, but is traditionally made with veal or pork.
