Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork cutlets
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place the pork cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Dip each pork cutlet in the flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure even coating.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 5

In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until browned.

Step 6

Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan with the mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Pour the beef broth into the pan and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve the pork cutlets topped with the mushroom sauce and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
