Jägerschnitzel Pork Or Veal Cutlets In Mushroom Gravy Food

JäGERSCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Fry the chopped bacon over medium-high heat until browning and the fat has been rendered.
• Add 2 tablespoons of butter and melt with the bacon.
• Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms, saute for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the onion is translucent.
• Add the tomato paste, seasoning (salt, pepper, paprika), Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
• Whisk to combine and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
• The gravy should thicken while simmering. If it does not combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water to make a slurry. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the gravy to thicken if needed. If your gravy is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
• Using three shallow dishes, make a dredging station. Combine all-purpose flour with salt and pepper in the first, beat the large eggs in the second, and place plain breadcrumbs in the third.
• Move each piece of pork individually through the dredging station steps. Start with coating the pork in flour, shaking off excess flour before moving to the next step.
• Coat the flour-coated pork thoroughly with the beaten egg. Allow excess egg to drain off pork before moving to the next step.
• Bread the egg-coated pork with the plain breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumb into the pork gently, patting it onto the sides and all surfaces as needed.
• Pan-fry the breaded pork in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Use enough oil so that the heated oil comes up a bit over halfway on the sides of the pork cuts. Cook for approximately 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the fried schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate when done and repeat for each pork chop or pork steak. Schnitzels can be kept in a warmed oven while the remaining pork is fried.
• Heat the gravy if needed before serving, then serve each schnitzel with a generous amount of gravy for a wonderful jagerschnitzel dinner.

JäGERSCHNITZEL (PORK OR VEAL CUTLETS IN MUSHROOM GRAVY)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
• Pound cutlets with a meat tenderizer to flatten them; season cutlets with salt and pepper, dredge them in beaten eggs and then coat evenly with the bread crumbs that have been combined with the flour.
• Place cutlets into skillet and fry until golden brown (1-2 minutes on each side); do NOT turn more than once as you will end up losing the coating if you turn too often.
• Remove the meat from the skillet and drain on paper towels; keep the meat warm in the oven while you make the gravy.
• Sauté bacon and onions until golden brown; add tomato paste and mushrooms, and sauté over a low heat until mushrooms are cooked; add wine, water and seasonings; let simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the sour cream; pour gravy over Schnitzel just before serving.

JAGERSCHNITZEL THE GERMANY WAY PORK STEAKS OR CUTLETS

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, mix together the bread crumbs and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Place the egg in a separate dish. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dip pork steaks in egg, then coat with the bread crumb mixture. Fry in the hot oil until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
• Remove the pork to a platter and keep warm. Add onion and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until lightly browned. Pour in water and dissolve the bouillon cube. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir together the cornstarch and sour cream; stir into the skillet. Cook over low heat until thickened but do not boil. Spoon over the pork cutlets and serve immediately.
• My Note: This is very close to the authentic one. I would not recommend using any type of seasoned bread crumbs because it will really change the way it should taste with the sauce. BUT I DO Play with me food, and the only changes I would make is the cornstarch. Try only 1/2 T. The Germans do have a thinner sauce. I loved this dish. It most authentically should be served with a cucumber/yogurt dressing salad and pommes frites (french fries) or spaetzle. And served with spatzee which is orange crush and coke. You'll feel like you're at a German fest. I've also made this with turkey or chicken breasts (pounded real thin). But My D/W have to admit she added a bit of onion powder and garlic powder to my flour/bread crumb mixture, and instead of using a can of mushrooms, She fried up fresh mushrooms in butter with the onions till soft, then added the cornstarch and followed with the water, bouillion and sour creme. My family of 9 loved this! SOOOOO much flavor. She also went all out German and served a German Spaetzle Dumplings (she got from this site) along side this Jagerschnitzel. The two dishes went together beautifully. This is easy to prepare, smells and tastes wonderful cooking-a winner of a recipe She like to do!
