pork cutlet

Pan-fried pig slice

A pork cutlet is a thin slice of pork, typically from the loin, that's been pounded flat and usually breaded before frying or baking.

The technique produces a tender, crispy result: I ordered the breaded pork cutlet with lemon.

Variations include German schnitzel, Japanese tonkatsu, and Italian cotoletta.
