Rice bran oil, to shallow fry
1 granny smith apple, cored, quartered, cut into matchsticks
1/4 green cabbage, finely shredded
2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 tbsp finely shredded mint leaves + extra mint sprigs, to serve

COOKING TIPS

Because round steaks are lean, be careful not to cook them for too long to avoid them drying out.

METHOD

Using a meat mallet or rolling pin gently pound the steaks until 5mm thick. Place the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in 3 separate large shallow bowls. Add the rosemary to the breadcrumbs and season with sea salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

Dip each schnitzel in the flour to coat, followed by the egg wash, then the breadcrumbs, pressing to coat. Set aside on a plate.

Heat a char-grill pan over medium-high heat and cook corn for 10 minutes, turning often, until charred. Sprinkle with Parmesan and season.

Meanwhile, add enough oil to a large non-stick frying pan to come 1cm up the side and heat over medium heat. Cook the schnitzels, in batches, for 2 minutes each side or until lightly golden. Transfer to a board lined with kitchen paper. Repeat with remaining schnitzels.

In a medium bowl combine apple, cabbage, onions, radish, carrot, mint, lemon juice and mayonnaise. Season.

Serve the schnitzels with corn, coleslaw, extra mint sprigs and lemon wedges
