Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make schnitzel from minced meat in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. It is advisable to take minced meat from pork and beef in equal proportions. If you use only pork it will turn out a bit fatty. And if you use only beef, the schnitzel will turn out very dry and tough. If you only have beef, be sure to add lard to it for juiciness and softness.

Step 2

Step 2
Place the minced meat in a bowl, add salt and pepper to taste. Of course, you can add other spices, but here I only used pepper.

Step 3

Step 3
Mix the minced meat thoroughly and start beating it. To do this, gather the minced meat in your palm, lift it above 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 binder.

Step 4

Step 4
Divide the minced meat into five equal parts and form flat cutlets.

Step 5

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

Step 7

Step 7
Place the resulting schnitzel in the beaten eggs and brush the top. It’s better to do this without turning the schnitzel over so that it doesn’t fall apart; after all, we have minced meat. Simply lubricate the top with your fingers or a silicone brush.

Step 8

Step 8
Using a wide spatula, transfer the schnitzel to the breadcrumbs and bread both sides. If you want a thick crust, then use finely ground crackers.

Step 9

Step 9
Place the frying pan over medium heat, pour in one tablespoon of odorless vegetable oil and heat. Place our schnitzel in heated oil and fry over low heat for 3-5 minutes. How to choose a frying pan and oil for frying, read the separate articles at the end of this recipe.

Step 10

Step 10
Turn the schnitzel over and fry the second side for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Do the same with all the prepared blanks. And so that they turn out appetizing every time, after each schnitzel, wipe the frying pan from burnt breadcrumbs and remaining butter.

Step 11

Step 11
Place the finished breaded minced meat schnitzels on plates and serve immediately. They can be served with any side dish, especially delicious with mashed potatoes. Or you can simply serve it with herbs or vegetables, it will also be very tasty.
