Ingredients for Schnitzel:

 

• 2 pieces of beef steak slices.
• 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour.
• 1 egg.
• 1 teaspoon of finely chopped parsley.
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
• 1 tablespoon of milk.
• 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs.
• 3 tablespoons of butter.
• 2 slices of lemon.
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese.
• Ready-made French fries (optional, as desired).

How to Prepare Schnitzel:

1. Prepare the Coating:
   Place the flour in one bowl and the breadcrumbs in another bowl. In a third bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, milk, egg, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.

2. Coat the Steak:
   Dip the beef steak slices first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat them with the breadcrumbs.

3. Chill the Steak:
   Place the coated steak slices in a dish and refrigerate them overnight.

4. Fry the Schnitzel:
   The next day, melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, take the steak slices out of the fridge and fry them in the melted butter, turning them occasionally until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked (about 3 minutes per side).

5. Serve:
   Remove the schnitzel from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Serve it hot with lemon slices and French fries on the side.

Your delicious schnitzel is now ready to be enjoyed with family or guests. Bon appétit!
