Zubereitung

1. 1

   Set up your breading station.In a wide bowl, mix the flour with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs with parsley and a pinch of salt. Pour the breadcrumbs into a third bowl or shallow dish.

2. 2

   Season the beef.Pat the beef dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. For best results, slice it very thin so it stays tender after frying.

3. 3

   Bread the schnitzels.Coat each slice of beef in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mix, and finally press into the breadcrumbs to coat well on both sides.

4. 4

   Fry until golden.Heat oil to 300°F (150°C) in a large skillet. Fry schnitzels for 4–5 minutes per side, or until crispy and golden brown. If your beef is extra thin, reduce frying time to 3–4 minutes per side.

5. 5

   Drain the schnitzels.Transfer fried schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towel and let rest while preparing the sauce.

6. 6

   Make the sauce heat oil in a medium-sized pot. Fry onion until transparent (about 3 minutes), then add the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

7. 7

   Add the tomato puree, salt and pepper to taste, Italian herbs and sugar (If using). Cover with lid to simmer for about 8 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly. Taste test and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.

8. 8

   Assemble and top.Place schnitzels on a baking tray or dish lightly sprayed with oil. Spoon over the sauce, and top with shredded mozzarella.

9. 9

   Bake (or air fry!) to finish.Bake in a 170°C (340°F) oven for 10 minutes until the cheese melts and starts to brown.Air fryer option: Cook at 240°C (460°F) for 3 minutes for a quick, melty finish.
