breaded veal wiener schnitzel
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
-
Step 1Pound veal slices with a meat hammer until very thin (about 1/8-inch thick), then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
Step 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.
-
Step 3Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet, then add as many veal slices as will fit.
-
Step 4Cook over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove veal from pan and place on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 5Repeat, adding more oil as necessary, until all veal slices are browned.

Step 6Serve on a preheated platter garnished with lemon wedges, parsley, and baby tomatoes. After serving, squeeze lemon over schnitzel.
