Escalope

An escalope is a piece of boneless meat that has been thinned out using a mallet,[1][2] rolling pin[2] or beaten with the handle of a knife, or merely butterflied.[3] The mallet breaks down the fibers in the meat, making it more tender. But the thinner meat cooks faster with more moisture loss. The meat is then coated and fried.[4]

Paillard or scallop

Paillard is an older French culinary term referring to a quick-cooking, thinly sliced or pounded piece of meat.[5] In France, it has been largely replaced by the word escalope.[5]

The cut is known as "scallop" in the US,[2] not to be confused with the shellfish scallop.

Origin

The term escalope originated in France.[2] It first appeared in cookery terminology late in the 17th century as a dialectal expression in the northeast of rural France[6] originally meaning a shelled nut or mollusk: veau à l'escalope (veal cooked in the style of an escalope).[6] In those days, an escalope was undoubtedly always veal.
