Method

For the Pounded Pork Cutlet

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Place pork loin chops between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound the pork until about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Setup Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Pork

    Dredge each pounded pork chop in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cutlets

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork cutlets and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

For the Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it begins to foam.

  2. 6

    Add Garlic and Lemon Juice

    Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

  3. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes, then stir in the chopped parsley before removing from heat.
