Not really, use pounded veal, flour, egg and bread crumb and serve with
a slice
of lemon and its wiener schnitzel.

I like to use a nice piece of beef shoulder, slice (schnitzel) it and
proceed as above.

Often as not i make a pan sauce after cooking the schnitzel, but a nice
red wine sauce is good or even a simple white sauce flavored with a bit
of lemon juice.
