Method

Combine all the ingredients for the slaw in a bowl, season with salt and set aside.
Put the flour, smoked paprika and lemon zest in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Mix together.
Put the beaten egg in a shallow bowl. Put the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl.
Put one beef medallion between 2 sheets of nonstick baking paper. Bash with a rolling pin until it’s half the original thickness. Repeat with the other three medallions.
One by one, dip the thinned pieces of beef in the flour, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Next dip them in the egg wash, hold above the bowl to allow any excess egg to drain off, then coat in the breadcrumbs.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the schnitzels for 2-2 1⁄2 minutes on each side, until cooked through and golden.
Serve with the slaw and a lemon wedge.
