Milan cutlet, original recipe
Together with the Viennese steak, it entered the world gastronomic heritage. What is the difference between them? This is a veal cutlet, 1-2 cm thick, or how big is its bone. The first 6 chops are the best because they are streaked with fat. It is not rolled in flour, but directly in egg and crumbs. It is fried in refined butter, which gives it a special, exceptional taste.
Preparation steps
- First prepare the refined butter. Place it in a fireproof dish in the oven at 80 degrees and let it melt. A whitish precipitate will collect at the bottom. Carefully pour over the butter and discard the precipitate. Purified butter does not have an unpleasant smell when frying - the dish gets the taste of hazelnuts
- Beat the chops lightly. Cut the skin on the round edge of the cutlet - on the thicker part next to the bone you can also cut it a little. Add a little salt because you will add more salt later. In cooking schools, the truth is taught that breaded meat is not salted before breading and frying because it releases juices and moistens the breaded wrapper. I still salt it a bit because the cutlet is much thicker than the usual steak and remains too unsalted even after later salting.
- Beat the eggs. Dip the chops well in them and then roll in white bread crumbs. It would be ideal if they were homemade (they say that crumbs are one of the important trump cards of Viennese steak in Vienna because they have excellent white pastries)
- Heat the refined butter. The ideal temperature is 160-170 degrees - in short, you should not smoke. Add two chops, fry on each side for about 5 minutes. The veal doesn't have to be very fried - I like my steaks to be juicy and a little pink in the middle
- This amount of butter will be enough for 4 chops, after which the butter should be tossed.
- Place the fried chops on kitchen paper to soak up excess fat. Salt them - for breading they say that they should be salted after frying
Serving
Fried, fried, you will say. The Milan cutlet would not have as much fame if it were the usual breaded meat. If done technically correctly - so don't overcook - it remains unsurpassed. I normally eat meat without flour, try it, it's juicier.
