Ingredients

• 8 ounces Beef round cutlets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 lemon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground mustard
• 1 cup Unsalted beef stock

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the beef cutlets. Gently pound each cutlet to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat tenderizer.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, dried thyme, paprika, and ground mustard.

Step 3

Dredge each beef cutlet in the spice mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.

Step 4

In another shallow bowl, beat the egg with milk to make an egg wash.

Step 5

Dip each spice-coated cutlet into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off.

Step 6

Place the cutlet into a plate of panko breadcrumbs, pressing down slightly to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well on all sides.

Step 7

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Add the cutlets to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until each side is golden brown and beef is cooked through.

Step 9

Remove cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Step 10

In the same skillet, add the unsalted beef stock and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for flavor.

Step 11

Allow the broth to reduce slightly for about 8-10 minutes to intensify the flavor.

Step 12

Serve the beef cutlets drizzled with reduced beef stock and garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
