Thin Boneless Pork Cutlet Recipes

CRISPY BAKED PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Stir the thyme, salt, and pepper into the mustard.
• Spread the mustard mixture evenly over the pork.
• Coat each piece of pork with the panko breadcrumbs.
• Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and once it is hot, lightly fry the pork for 2 minutes on each side or until brown and crispy.
• Place the whole skillet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until cooked to your liking.

CRISPY BREADED PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss panko with oil. Bake, tossing once, until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees.
• Meanwhile, one at a time, place chops between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or the bottom of a small heavy pan, pound to make 1/4-inch-thick cutlets.
• Dividing evenly, coat pork with mustard; season with salt and pepper. One at a time, dip cutlets into panko, pressing firmly to adhere.
• Place a rack on a rimmed baking sheet; place pork on rack, and bake, without turning, until opaque throughout, 10 to 15 minutes.

BASIC PAN-FRIED THIN PORK CHOPS (NO EGG)

Steps:

• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large shallow bowl. Dredge each pork chop into the flour mixture to coat evenly. Shake off excess flour.
• (if your pork chops are a little dry, rinse and shake off then dredge no egg needed).
• Place oil in a large, heavy skillet and heat over high. When hot, add chops to skillet and cook 1 minute each side, until browned and crisp, working in batches as to not overcrowd the pan. Makes a great pan-sear.
• Drain on paper towels and serve.

CROCK POT SAVORY PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Spray your crock pot with cooking spray
• Place your cutlets in your crock pot
• Mix together your soup and soup mix in a bowl
• Pour over your cutlets
• Gently pour your broth over top
• Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours

PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Place cutlets between waxed paper and flatten to 1/4 - 1/2 inch thickness using a meat pounder or rolling pin.
• Cut small slits around the edges of the pork and set aside.
• In a pie dish or bowl combine 1/2 cup flour, salt and pepper.
• In a second pie dish beat eggs with milk.
• In a third pie dish combine bread crumbs and paprika.
• Dip cutlets in flour, then egg mixture and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, coating well with the crumbs; set aside until all the pork cutlets are coated.
• In a large skillet melt Crisco (vegetable shortening) over medium heat.
• Add three cutlets to the skillet at a time and saute on both sides until golden brown (3-5 minutes per side) and then transfer to a plate and keep warm and repeat with the remaining shortening (3 tablespoons) and cutlets.
• In a small cup combine remaining flour (2 tablespoons) with dillweed and then add mixture to skillet.
• Stir in broth, stirring to combine well and then stir in sour cream until heated through.
• Spoon sauce or pass separately--the sauce is wonderful over noodles.

PORK SCHNITZEL RECIPE

Steps:

• Line a cutting board with plastic wrap, place cutlets in a single layer on cutting board and cover with plastic wrap (this prevents splatter). Pound cutlets with a meat mallet or the back of a heavy saucepan, until 1/4" to 1/8" thick.
• Set up three bowls. In the first combine 1/3 cup flour, 1 Tbsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp paprika and 1/2 tsp pepper. In the second, use a fork to beat 3 eggs. In the third bowl, add 2 cups panko crumbs.
• Dredge both sides of each pounded cutlet in flour then dip in beaten egg letting excess egg drip back into the bowl before breading in panko crumbs. It helps to use a fork for the dipping process to keep your hands clean. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
• Once all cutlets are breaded, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add breaded cutlets a few at a time and sauté 3-4 min per side or until cooked through. Reduce heat if browning too quickly. Remove to paper towel lined plate. Cut into one to check doneness - juices should run clear. Serve with lemon wedges, or ranch for children.

SAUTEED PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Place pork cutlets between two sheets of parchment paper; using a meat mallet or a small, heavy skillet, pound to 1/8 inch thick. Season both sides of pork with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add pork to pan, and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. (If pan becomes dry, add more oil.) Transfer to a platter.
• Drizzle lemon juice over pork, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Garnish with Parmesan curls and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges and mustard.

GOLDEN BAKED PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Holding a chef's knife at a 45 degrees angle and perpendicular to the tenderloin, slice the pork into 4 long, thin "fillets."
• Mix breadcrumbs, sugar, paprika, onion powder and salt in a shallow dish. Drizzle with oil and mash with a fork until the oil is thoroughly incorporated. Lightly beat egg white with a fork in another shallow dish. Sprinkle cornstarch over the pork slices and pat to coat evenly on both sides. Dip the pork into the egg, then press into the breading mixture until evenly coated on both sides. (Discard leftover mixture.)
• Place the pork on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until just barely pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer registers 145 degrees F, 14 to 16 minutes.

WORLD'S MOST AWESOMEST TENDEREST PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F with the rack in the middle.
• Cut the tenderloin crosswise into 2″ rounds.
• Places each piece between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound until they are thin cutlets (less than 1/4" thick).
• Set up your station with 3 separate pie pans.
• In the first pie pan place the flour, salt, pepper and paprika and gently mix.
• In the middle pie pan add the eggs and water whisking to combine.
• In the last pie pan place the bread crumbs.
• In a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat add 2 tablespoon of oil.
• Once the oil starts to shimmer, dredge a cutlet in flour coating all sides.
• Next dip it in the egg flipping to get all sides wet.
• Gently lift up letting the excess egg drip off.
• Place the cutlet in the breadcrumbs and coat all sides. At this point you can coat a few and cook all at once being sure you do not crowd the pan.
• Gently place the cutlets in the hot oil cooking each side about 3-4 minutes or until each side is golden brown.
• Continue coating and cooking in batches until they are all pan-seared.
• You will need to add more oil as you cook.
• Either in a large roasting pan (that has a lid) with a rack in the bottom or a large dutch oven that has a lid (if you can fit a rack in it great, if not it's OK) take about 2-4' of aluminum foil and crumble it up like a snake. You want to rest this on top of the rack or the bottom of the dutch oven. The goal here is to have the food be elevated at least 1" above the bottom of the pan.
• Place about 1/2-1 cup of water at the bottom of the pan. The foil or rack can sit it but the water cannot go over top of the foil or touch the cutlets.
• Take the pan-seared cutlets and place them on top of the foil. It's okay to stack them if you made a lot. You just don't want them to touch the water.
• Cover the roaster or pan very tightly with foil and the lid. You want to steam these now. This is the trick to get them ridiculously tender.
• Bake for 40 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and gently remove.

THE BEST WAY TO COOK THIN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the cutlets in the mixture on both sides and shake off excess. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter to the pan. Sear the pork chops for 60-75 seconds per side until they just begin to turn golden. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Decrease the heat to medium and to the same skillet add the cream, mustard and honey. Whisk until combined and bring to simmer. Add the pork chops back into the skillet and nestle down into the sauce. Cover and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Immediately remove from the skillet and serve.

APPLE BUTTER DREDGED PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using standard breading technique, dredge each pork cutlet in flour, apple butter, and bread crumbs. Place each cutlet on clean plate or cookie sheet until ready for next step.
• Over medium high setting, use large oven-safe skillet or sauté pan to heat oil.
• Place each cutlet in hot oil, and brown each side for about 2 minutes.
• Place pan in oven for 20 minutes or until meat has reached minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees.
• Allow to set for 3 minutes before serving on warm plates.

THIN PORK CHOPS (WITH HONEY MUSTARD PAN SAUCE)

Steps:

• Mix the flour, salt and pepper on a plate. Dredge the cutlets in the mixture and shake off excess. Set aside.
• Heat a heavy bottomed pan such as cast iron skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Sear 3 or 4 thin pork chops at a time, for just over 1 minute per side until they just begin to turn golden. Remove from pan. Repeat with the rest of the olive oil, butter and chops.
• Lower the heat to medium and to the same pan add the cream, mustard and honey. Whisk until combined and bring to simmer. Add the seared pork chops to the sauce and cover the skillet partially with a suitable lid or simply a round baking sheet that fits. Simmer for 5-6 minutes to cook the pork chops through. Garnish with fresh thyme or dill and serve.

SCHNITZEL - THIN BREADED GERMAN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the meat by trimming off the fat. Flatten or pound it, without tearing, to a uniform 1/4 inch thickness. Season with a mixture of salt, pepper and paprika.
• 2. For the next steps, you should handle the meat with a fork or you will have a mess on your fingers. Dredge the meat in flour until well coated. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl. Dip the chops into the eggs and cover them with breadcrumbs.
• 3. Leave the breaded meat rest on a cookie sheet or on a wire rack for a while (15 minutes) to give the breading a chance to adhere better.
• 4. Preheat your oven to 225 degrees.
• 5. Heat the fat in a large skillet. Cook the Schnitzel on both sides until they are nicely browned. When all of them are finished put them into the pre-heated oven for about 1/2 hour. NOTE: This last important step allows the seasonings to be absorbed by the meat.

AIR FRIED THIN CUT PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 360F
• Season pork chops as required
• Cook pork for four minutes
• Turn once half way through cooking
• Allow meat to rest for one to two minutes after coming out of the air fryer

PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the egg white and water until it starts to foam. Stir in a teaspoon of dry mustard. Season cutlet with salt and pepper. Dip the cutlet in flour, then the egg mixture, coating thoroughly, and then in the breadcrumbs. Be sure that both sides are covered well. Set aside, or refrigerate, covered by a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
• Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan until hot. Add the cutlet, lower the heat slightly, and cook for about 2 minutes. Turn with a spatula, and brown the other side. Continue cooking, turning once again if necessary, until the pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes in total. When done, the flesh will be white. Drain on a paper bag. Serve with a squeeze of lime.
• Serve with potato and leeks
