The Origin of Schnitzel

“Schnitzel,” often spelled as “schnitzel,” is a breaded and fried cutlet of meat that is popular in various parts of the world. It is particularly well-known in German-speaking countries and Austria. The word “schnitzel” is derived from the German word “Schnitz,” which means “slice” or “cut.”

The traditional preparation of Schnitzel involves taking a thin slice of veal or pork, pounding it even thinner, coating it with flour, dipping it in beaten eggs, and then coating it with breadcrumbs. It is then pan-fried until golden brown and crispy.

Schnitzel, a thin meat cutlet, pounded until tender and then breaded and fried, you can bread the meat and deep fry it, or you can pan fry it, using it as breading, or simply consume it without the bread. The result is a tender, flavorful cutlet with a crispy, golden exterior.

Ingredients of Beef Schnitzel with Garlic Butter Sauce

Beef Schnitzel

• Tenderloin Steak about 100 g of each cut; Tenderloin contains less fat compared to the sirloin, Tenderloin steak is a very tender and lean cut of beef. For schnitzel, the beef is pounded flat to create a thin cutlet, making it even more tender and perfect for frying.
• All-purpose Flour; for dredging the beef cutlets. It helps the egg wash adhere to the meat and provides a base for the breadcrumbs
• Paprika; adds a mild, smoky flavor and a reddish color to the flour mixture
• Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper; to taste and balancing overall flavour
• Egg lightly beaten; as a binding agent to help the breadcrumbs stick to the meat during the breading process.
• Panko Breadcrumbs; as the last layer to add crispy to the schnitzel
• Olive Oil; for frying the breaded beef cutlets until they’re golden brown and crispy
• Lemon wedges for serve; as a garnish Squeezing lemon juice over the schnitzel adds a fresh, tangy flavor that complements the richness of the dish

Garlic Butter Sauce

• Unsalted Butter; is a key ingredient for the rich and creamy sauce. It adds a luscious, buttery flavor.
• Garlic crushed; since the name of the sauce is garlic butter sauce, of course, we need garlic
• Heavy Cream; make it creamy and luscious. It contributes to the rich and velvety texture of the sauce.
• Parmesan Cheese; enhance the sauce’s flavor and add a subtle cheesy note. It also helps thicken the sauce.
• For seasoning I use Italian Seasoning, Onion Powder, Salt, and Black Pepper; enhancing the overall flavor of the garlic butter sauce.

Instructions for Beef Schnitzel with Garlic Butter Sauce

Beef Schnitzel

Let’s start with making beef schnitzel, here is what you need;

In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. First,this seasoned flour mixture will be used for coating the beef schnitzel. Take each piece of tenderloin steak and coat it with the seasoned flour mixture. Next, dip it into the lightly beaten egg wash, ensuring it’s well-covered. Finally, press the steak into the Panko breadcrumbs. This process creates a breadcrumb crust on the beef schnitzel.

Next, place a frying pan on the stove and heat the olive oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking. Carefully place the breaded beef schnitzel in the hot oil. Fry each side until it becomes golden brown and crispy, typically for about 2-3 minutes per side. Use tongs to flip and cook the other side.

Once the schnitzel finishes cooking, transfer it to a cooling rack or a plate lined with paper towels. This allows any excess oil to drain, keeping the schnitzel crispy and set aside.

Garlic Butter Sauce

First, cook garlic with butter over medium heat for 2 minutes. Second, in a separate pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat and add the crushed garlic. Then, cook the garlic in the butter for about 2 minutes until it becomes fragrant. Moreover, this step infuses the butter with garlic flavor.

Next, add the rest of the ingredients and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens. First, to the butter and garlic, add the remaining sauce ingredients, including heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Then, stir and cook the mixture until the cheese is melted, and the sauce thickens. This creates the delicious garlic butter sauce.

Last but not least, serve immediately with beef schnitzel. Finally, plate the cooked beef schnitzel and drizzle the prepared garlic butter sauce over it. Serve it promptly while it’s still hot and enjoy your homemade Beef Schnitzel with Garlic Butter Sauce.

Do not forget to add a squeeze of lemon, and serve with your choice of steamed seasonal vegetables or salad.
