Method

Schnitzel Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Tenderloin

    Slice the boneless pork tenderloin into ½ inch thick medallions. Tenderize each piece with a meat mallet until they are about ¼ inch thick.

  2. 2

    Batter the Medallions

    Set up your breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and black pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Coat the Pork

    Dredge each medallion in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Schnitzels

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded medallions for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Topping Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté Onions and Mushrooms

    In the same skillet used for frying, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add chopped onions and sliced mushrooms, sauté until soft.

  2. 6

    Make the Gravy

    Sprinkle flour over the onions and mushrooms, stir to combine, then gradually pour in Guinness beer and beef broth. Stir continuously until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Colcannon Mashed Potatoes Preparation

  1. 7

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop potatoes into cubes. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

  2. 8

    Cook the Cabbage

    In a separate pot, steam or boil chopped cabbage until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add to the drained potatoes.

  3. 9

    Mash and Mix

    Add milk, butter, salt, and pepper to the potatoes and cabbage. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the schnitzel topped with the mushroom and Guinness gravy alongside a generous scoop of colcannon mashed potatoes. Garnish with pretzel sticks.
