Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 packages of beef schnitzel approx. 600 grams
- 1 cup red wine
- 2-3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 red onion or cooking onion
- ½ lemon squeezed or 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar if don't have lemon
- 3 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup cold water
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate meat in wine with salt and pepper for at least one hour or overnight if possible.
- Drain meat from wine and save the liquid for making the sauce.
- Place oil in a frying pan and preheat to medium heat. Add schnitzel to frying pan to seal and flip once.
- Move the schnitzel to another non-stick pan.
- Chop onion and add to frying with remaining oil. Add more oil if needed.
- Saute the onion until brown and then move to the other pan holding the schnitzel.
- Pour the leftover wine over top of the meat. Add more wine if needed so the schnitzel is fully covered.
- Cook meat on low heat for about 1 hour, check occasionally that it doesn't stick to the bottom.
- In the meantime, using a separate bowl, combine 1 cup cold water with cornstarch and sour cream. Mix altogether to dissolve.
- Once meat is almost cooked fully, cover the cornstarch mixture over top of meat.
- If not creamy enough, add more dissolved cornstarch in cold water. If too thick, add water.
- Cook for another 10 minutes on low heat until the sauce boils.
