Steps for Preparation
- Trim the pork of any excess fat, and gently
pound, until slightly flattened, to a uniform thickness. It is helpful
to place the cutlets between layers of plastic wrap to prevent them
from sticking to the cutting board.
- Season the cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge
them in the flour, coating all sides evenly and completely. Lightly
press the flour into the cutlets.
- Thoroughly blend the eggs and oregano in a
small bowl. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish or tray. Using
a pair of tongs, shake any excess flour off of the cutlets before
dipping them into the egg wash. Transfer the egg-dipped cutlets
to the breadcrumbs and coat evenly.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Head the oil
over medium heat in a high-walled sauté pan. Add the breaded
pork and carefully brown on each side for 2-3 minutes. When browned,
transfer the pork to a wire rack set on a baking tray.
- Place the pork in the oven to bake, for about
30 minutes.
- Check for doneness of each cutlet using a Cook'd
Right® Sensor.
- Quickly insert dark sensor tip into center
of meat. Wait 5-10 seconds.
- Remove sensor tip and check color.
- Continue checking with the same sensor until
done.
- Discard sensor when finished.
- Cutlet is done when tip of sensor is fully
orange.
- Serve the cutlets right away with lemon wedges
on the side.
