Utensils and tools

- 1 teaspoon tarragon, dry, minced
- 3 tablespoon vegetable oil, for frying, or clarified butter (ghee)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (white, granulated), (white, granulated)
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cup red wine
Preparation
1. Season escalopes
- Put the pork loin steaks one by one between two pieces of plastic film and flatten them with the meat mallet.Sprinkle the pork escalopes with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, pepper, and tarragon. Let it rest in the fridge for an hour.
2. Fry the escalopes
- Heat oil in the skillet over high heat. Sprinkle sugar on the oil, and heat until the sugar browns, being careful that it does not burn.Spread the escalopes on the skillet and brown cook until it browns on one side (approx. 40 seconds), turn and brown on the other side.
3. Adding the flour
- Lower fire to medium heat. Sprinkle flour on the escalopes and cook turning until the flour is no longer white.
4. Make the sauce for escalopes
- Pour in the wine and cook stirring until the juices start to thicken (about 1 min).Remove from the heat and serve.
Top tips
- Cooking time: Escalopes can be very tender, but they require a short cooking time, or else they'll turn dry and tough. It's important to stick around to make sure they don't overcook.
- Serving to children: If there are children at the table, some changes will have to be made, as you don't want to serve alcohol to minors.
One of my favorites is to simply use heavy cream instead of wine for a rich, kid-friendly sauce. - Sauce with cider: To make a pork escalope cider sauce, substitute an equal amount of cider for cooking wine in the preparation.
- Other cuts: You can make chicken escalopes (from chicken breats), turkey escalopes, veal escalopes, or beef escalopes using the same recipe.
