Steps
- 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
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
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
Fry until golden.Heat oil to 150°C (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.

Drain the schnitzels.Transfer fried schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towel and let rest while preparing the sauce.
- 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
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
Assemble and top.Place schnitzels on a baking tray or dish lightly sprayed with oil. Spoon over the sauce, and top with shredded mozzarella.

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