Ingredients

• 4 slices beef schnitzel
• 0.5 cup plain flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Place the beef schnitzel slices between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the beef until it is about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the unsweetened almond milk until well combined to make an egg wash.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and smoked paprika, mixing thoroughly.

Step 5

Dredge each slice of beef in the seasoned flour, ensuring a light, even coat.

Step 6

Next, dip the floured beef slices into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Finally, coat the beef slices in the panko mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the meat for a solid crust.

Step 8

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Once the oil is hot, add the schnitzels to the pan, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 10

Fry the schnitzels for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 12

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzels just before eating.
