Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pound cutlets to 1/4-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Set up three shallow dishes: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.

  3. Step 3

    Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing firmly.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry cutlets until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside.

  5. Step 5

    In the same skillet, add sliced apples and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Remove and keep warm.

  6. Step 6

    Add lingonberry jam and beef broth to the skillet. Stir and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Serve cutlets topped with sauce, alongside apples, and garnish with chopped chives.

  8. Step 8

    Optional: add a splash of cream or a pinch of paprika to the sauce for extra richness.
