Ingredients

• 4 pieces Beef cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place the beef cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper. Pound them with a meat mallet to approximately 1/4 inch thickness for even cooking.

Step 2

Season the beef cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the gluten-free flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk. In the third bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 4

Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly for the breadcrumbs to adhere.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large frying pan. The oil should be hot enough that a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped into it.

Step 6

Carefully add the breaded beef cutlets to the pan, one or two at a time depending on the size of your pan. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Garnish the schnitzel with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
