How to make venison schnitzel

You will need an assembly line of three bowls to make the breaded schnitzel

• First you need to slice the meat against the grain
• then pound the meat with a meat tenderizer (I like to put the meat slices inside a freezer bag and pound the outside of the bag. That way its no blood or meat splatter.)

• Coat the meat well by dusting the slices in flour first, then dip them in the egg wash and finally coat them evenly in bread crumbs. I like to use standard bread crumbs for a European style crumbed schnitzel. However panco crumbs works fine too.

The schnitzels can be prepared and crumbed in advance and just fry the crumbed venison fresh before serving .

How to cook crumbed schnitzel

Best way to cook schnitzel is to deep fry or gently pan fry them in a lot of butter.

For best pan frying result:

• Heat a cast iron skillet frying pan,
• pour in vegetable oil and a good size knob of butter.
• Fry both side of the schnitzel on low to medium heat until golden brown and crispy.

Leftover schnitzel are great in a sandwich the next day.
