Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork loin cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil or clarified butter

Directions

Step 1

Place each pork loin cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper.

Step 2

Using a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy pan, pound the cutlets to about 1/4-inch thickness. Be careful not to tear the meat.

Step 3

Season both sides of the cutlets with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 4

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Dredge each cutlet first in flour, making sure to shake off the excess.

Step 6

Dip the floured cutlet into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Coat the cutlet in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere evenly.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil or clarified butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 9

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded cutlets into the skillet. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 10

Fry each cutlet for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. The internal temperature of the meat should reach at least 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

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

Step 12

Serve the Polish steak hot, traditionally accompanied by mashed potatoes and pickled cucumbers or a simple salad.
