Ingredients
  

  • 4 beef cutlets pounded thin
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour for gravy
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Season the beef cutlets with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Coat the cutlets:

  • Dredge each cutlet in flour, then dip them into beaten eggs, and finally coat them with breadcrumbs.

Fry the cutlets:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Make the gravy:

  • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk continuously for 2-3 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
  • Gradually whisk in the beef broth, making sure there are no lumps.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens.

Finish the sauce:

  • Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve:

  • Plate the schnitzels and pour the rich gravy over the top. Serve hot.
