Pork Schnitzel - Nice & Easy

We recently enjoyed this easy pork schnitzel recipe from food.com (http://www.food.com/recipe/pork-schnitzel-261124). However, it took a bit more clean up than I wanted. I used pork cube steaks so I did not have to thin or tenderize the cuts.

The recipe below serves 4, but I cut it in half for the two of us.

Ingredients

1 cup flour

1 cup plain bread crumbs

2 eggs (or 1/2 cup egg substitute)

4 pork cube steaks (1 & 1/2 lb), or 4 pork chops (1 & 1/2 lb), or 4 pork tenderloin (1 & 1/2 lb)

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

4 tablespoons canola oil, divided (It is only necessary to divide the oil if you cook 4 pork chops - 2 at a time. If you cook only 2, as I did, you only need to use 2 tablespoons and don't need to divide them.)

Directions

Place flour in shallow bowl; bread crumbs in second bowl. Beat eggs gently in third bowl until well blended.

Preheat large sauté pan on medium high for 2-3 minutes. Season both sides of pork with salt and pepper. Dip pork in flour, coating both sides. Then dip into egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, dip into bread crumbs to coat.

Place 2 tablespoons of oil into the pan, and swirl to coat the pan. Place 2 pork steaks in the pan, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature is 160 degrees F. Use a meat thermometer to accurate ensure doneness.

Remove pork from pan and cover to keep warm. Repeat steps with 2 remaining tablespoons of oil and 2 pork steaks. Serve.
