Zürcher Geschnetzeltes


  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 people 1x

Description

A luscious cream-based meat sauce prepared from veal, onions, and other ingredients. Served on rice and garnished with fresh parsley.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g Veal (thinly sliced) (Cut against grain for tenderness)
  • 200 ml Cream
  • 1 unit Onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 tbsp Flour
  • 200 ml White Wine or Beef Broth
  • 1 tbsp Mustard
  • to taste unit Salt and Pepper
  • as needed unit Fresh Parsley (For garnish)
  • 250 g Rice (For serve)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water is clear to remove excess starch. Bring 500ml water to a boil, then add the rice. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Loosen the rice with a fork after cooking for a better texture.
  2. Over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil or butter in a large frying pan. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it is transparent. This process takes about 5 minutes.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the thinly sliced veal to the pan. Sear the meat quickly, making sure the pan is not overcrowded. Cook about 3-4 minutes, until the meat is browned but still tender.
  4. Dust the cooked veal with flour and mix well. Gradually add the white wine (or beef broth) while stirring to prevent lumping. Keep medium heat to bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes, until the sauce is thick. For extra flavor, scrape the seared pieces off the bottom of the pan.
  5. Lower the heat and stir in the cream and mustard. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat gently for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve the Zürcher Geschnetzeltes on a bed of rice. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for color and taste.

Notes

To avoid any chance of the cream curdling, do not bring it to a boil after adding it. For the best taste, use high-quality veal.
