Pork Cutlet

Lemon Butter Sauce

Method

Pork Cutlet Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Begin by tenderizing the pork loin chops. Use a meat mallet to pound each piece to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the all-purpose flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Pork

    Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry the Cutlets

    Carefully place the breaded pork cutlets in the hot oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Lemon Butter Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

  2. 7

    Add Flavorings

    Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 8

    Incorporate Lemon

    Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 9

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove from heat and stir in the fresh chopped parsley.
