September 9: National Wiener Schnitzel Day
Title: Austrian Weiner Schnitzel Mit Beilagen
Categories: Beef, Breads, Citrus, Herbs
Yield: 6 servings
We've done schnitzel with turkey or chicken cutlets, both the
traditional way and in the oven. In the oven makes for less of a mess
than pan frying. Basically, prepare them the same way as you do for pan frying. Then put them in a greased (I use non stick spray) glass pan, spray the tops of the cutlets. Cover and bake at 350 for 15-20 (depends
on thickness) minutes. Tastes just as good as the pan fried version.
Altho the original "weiner schnitzel" was veal I've certainly been served
a lot of "cube" steaks over the years. The places/tables to do turkey,
chicken or pork do tend to label them as (whatever) schnitzel rather than trying to fake you out. And it need not be breaded although most is to
hide other liberties taken. Bv)=
Chikcken fried steak can serve as a schnitzel dish.

Title: Kathy Pitts' Chicken Fried Steak #2
Categories: Beef, Sauces, Breads
Yield: 4 Servings
4 (6 oz ea) round steaks
Flour
+=SEASONED WITH=+
Salt, pepper, garlic powder
1 lg Egg
+=BEATEN WITH=+
2 tb Water
Milk
Oil or lard for frying
I use a method of tenderising the meat passed on to me by
my father, who made great CFS. First score the exterior of
the meat with a tiny, diamond-shaped pattern (like you'd
use to score the fat on a ham, but make the diamonds only
about 1/4" (6mm) long. Do this on both sides of the meat.
Then beat the steaks very well with a meat pounder (they
should be almost falling apart). Dip first in the flour,
then in the egg, and again in the flour. For a really
crisp crust, dip again in the egg, and the flour.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan (the oil should be to a
depth of 1/4" (6mm) or so). Fry the steaks in the oil
until nicely browned. Remove and keep warm.
Drain all but 3 Tbsp of oil from the pan, being sure to
leave the crusty bits on the bottom in the pan. Add 3
Tbsp. of flour (leftover from breading the meat), and stir
to make a white roux.
Whisk in 1 1/2 to 2 cups of milk, and stir until the
mixture loses its floury taste. Season to taste with salt
and a generous amount of black pepper (the pepper flavor
is important in this dish).
Serve the gravy over the meat and with mashed potatoes.
UDD Notes: I generally serve garlic or garlic and cheese
mashed potatoes under the pepper gravy.
