Except in Vienna, where boiled beef is popular, Wiener Schnitzel is the favorite meat in Austria. The word schnitzel simply means "a sliver," and thrifty cooks make their schnitzels from thin slices of pork or beef. True Wiener Schnitzel, however, is a veal scallop.

How To Make breaded veal wiener schnitzel
-
1Pound veal slices with a meat hammer until very thin (about 1/8-inch thick), then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
2Place flour into a shallow dish and dip veal slices into flour. Shake off excess flour. Dip veal into egg mixture, then roll in bread crumbs, coating well, and set aside.
