Chef’s Mystery

Ever been told to flour meat in your favorite recipe? Want to do so without making a big mess or wasting flour? Here’s how.

Ingredients

All-purpose flour
Meat (steak, pork, etc., whatever your recipe says)

Steps

Spread a very thin coat of flour evenly along the bottom of a large, round container that has steep, short sides.
Prepare your meat as directed in the recipe. Holding the edges, place the meat in the floured container. Press gently.
Lift the meat out, and, holding it in one hand, add more flour to the container until the bottom is lightly covered again.
Holding the edges, again place the meat in the floured container, and press gently.
After you have lifted the meat out the second time, transfer it immediately to your skillet and cook as directed.

Tips

To add some kick to your meat, add in a little paprika or chili powder to the flour.

Warnings

When cooking with a skillet over high heat, be very careful to avoid being burned.
If you drop the meat in, it will create a cloud of flour - gently place the meat in the container to avoid any messes.

Ingredients:

4 oz veal (per person), slices, milk fed, pink in color, 1/4 inch thick
olive oil
lard
salt
flour
eggs (1 egg per two slices veal ,beaten
fine dry bread crumbs

Directions:

Trim all fat from veal. Pound each slice as thin as possible (about 1/8 inch thick). Make small vertical cuts all around the edges of the veal. Salt each slice. Dip first into a soup plate containing flour, and shake off excess; next into a soup plate of beaten egg; finally into a soup plate containing dried bread crumbs, pressing crumbs well in with the palm of your hand, then shaking off excess. Fry in deep fat, half olive oil, half melted lard, so hot that it smokes, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until heat is right when the breading ripples golden brown. Schnitzel is done and tender when a fork goes right through the meat. Serve garnished with lemon wedges and potatoes or salad as a side dish.
