Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork cutlets
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cups White button mushrooms
• 1 medium Onion
• 1.5 cups Beef broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons All-purpose flour (for gravy)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place pork cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 2

Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded cutlets for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and let it heat through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 9

To serve, plate the pork cutlets and generously ladle the mushroom gravy over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
