Step 1
Toss cucumber, tomato, and carrot slices with 2 tbsp rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside while you cook.
Step 2
Pat beef cutlets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Spread panko on a plate. Coat each cutlet on both sides, pressing gently so crumbs stick.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Sear cutlets 90 seconds per side without moving — edges should be golden and crispy, center stays rare.
Step 6
Toss shredded cabbage with remaining 1 tbsp rice vinegar and salt. Plate cutlets, cabbage, pickled veggies, and drizzle pan sauce over top.
