  • To scallop meat:.
  • Start with the meat in front of you on a firm surface, with the grain running from left to right. With a sharp, heavy knife held almost parallel to the surface, slide the knife through the meat about 1/4" inch below the surface, at about a 30 degree angle to the grain, and cut off a piece that measures about 2 by 3 inches. Make the second cut right next to the first one, also about 30 degrees from the grain, but in the opposite direction. Continue removing thin ovals down the length of the meat, then through the thickness. Don't hurry, and try to keep the scallops as nearly the same size as possible, so they'll cook in about the same amount of time.
  • From EHow.com:.
  • Scalloped meat is the American word for the French term "escalope," according to Food.com. This cut of meat cooks very quickly because it lacks bones and is very thin. Any type of meat can be scalloped: turkey, chicken, pork, beef, salmon or veal. Preparing your meat this way can reduce the cooking time and get your dinner to the table faster.
  • Sprinkle water onto two sheets of plastic wrap.
  • Place a single cutlet onto one sheet of plastic on the wet side and cover with the wet side of the other piece of plastic wrap.
  • Pound and roll the cutlet with the rolling pin until ΒΌ inch thick.
  • Unwrap the cutlet and set aside.
  • Repeat with the remaining cutlets, and cook the scalloped meat according to your recipe.
