I love venison schnitzel! The golden crunchy coating and thin juicy meat inside. I usually make it with venison or pork served with roast potatoes and a sauce. My favorite sauces for schnitzels are mushroom sauce and peppercorn sauce. Other times I serve it with spaghetti in tomato, garlic and herb sauce. On it’s own with a lemon wedge is good too.

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

Then 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.

Leftover schnitzel are great in a sandwich the next day.

Venison Schnitzel

Best way to cook schnitzel is to deep fry or pan fry them. I prefer pan fried schnitzel. Gently fry them in a lot of butter until golden and crispy.
