Pork Schnitzel with Creamy Spicy Mustard Sauce

Schnitzel is a classic german meal and perfect for Oktoberfest! This dish typically uses pork (but sometimes chicken or veal) and creates a tender cutlet of meat with a crispy outer coating — which pairs well alongside the creamy spicy mustard sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 Boneless Pork Chops with the fat trimmed and pounded thin
  • 1 cup Cajun bread crumbs
  • 1 egg, scrambled
  • 3/4 cup canola oil

Prep time
10 minutes
Cook time

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil on medium heat, about 350°F.
  2. Dip the pork in the egg on both sides, then coat generously with crumbs on both sides.
  3. Transfer to the pan and cook about 3 mins per side depending on thickness. Remove when internal temperature reaches about 142°F. Temperature will rise after, so serve at recommended temperature of 145°F.
  4. Set on a wire rack or plate with paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  5. Cook the shallots with the butter for about 1 min, until fragrant.
  6. Add in chicken stock and the vinegar. Cook for another 2 mins.
  7. Add in the mustards. Mix well.
  8. Lastly, add in the cream, and cook for another 4 mins, or until desired creaminess. (You can add in more mustard or cream depending on the flavor you want!)
  9. Drizzle sauce on top of meat and enjoy!
