Method

To Prepare Beef
1

Use kitchen scissors or a knife to make small cuts around the edge of each piece of schnitzel to ensure they don't roll up during cooking.

2

Place pieces of schnitzel between 2 sheets of baking paper and quickly pound them with a meat mallet, rolling pin or the base of a small heavy saucepan to flatten them a little more.

To Crumb
1

Place the flour, the egg mixture and the breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls.

2

Stir chopped parsley through the bowl of breadcrumbs.

3

Coat a piece of schnitzel in the flour, shaking off the excess.

4

Dip in the egg mixture until it is well coated then place into the breadcrumbs.

5

Gently pat down on each side, ensuring that it is well coated.

6

Place on a tray and repeat with the remaining schnitzel.

7

Heat a frying pan over medium heat then add enough oil just to cover the base of the pan.

8

As soon as the oil is hot, add beef schnitzel (in batches if necessary) and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.

9

Drain on kitchen paper and season.

To Serve
1

Serve beef schnitzel with a bowl of cherry tomatoes, green beans, sugar snap peas and a bowl of twice-cooked small potatoes.
