What shall I make with beef schnitzel??

[Paula H]

Have just bought some beef schnitzel (on special and looking very yummy AND trying to win a trip to Italy) and now trying to decide what on earth to do with it. Any favourite (light) recipes ou there?

Since I have no idea what beef schnitzel is, I can't help...but I thought at least I'd bump this up for you!

Schnitzel is like scaloppini - a very thin lean cut of meat (can be beef, pork or veal).

This is a CL recipe that uses pork but I think the beef would sub very nicely:

Jagerschnitzel


INGREDIENTS FOR 4 SERVINGS:
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 cups thinly sliced mushrooms
3 cups coarsely chopped red bell pepper
2 cups coarsely chopped onion
1 cup thinly sliced carrot
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons water
1 pound pork tenderloin
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray
3 cups hot cooked yolk-free noodles (about 6 ounces uncooked pasta)
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Pork tenderloin slices are pounded into thin cutlets (or Schnitzel) and served with a vegetable stew in this homage to Alpine hunters.

1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, carrot, and garlic; saute 10 minutes. Add tomatoes; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Combine flour, paprika, and water in a small bowl. Stir into tomato mixture; cook 3 minutes or until slightly thick. Keep warm.

2. Trim fat from pork; cut pork crosswise into 16 pieces. Place each piece between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten each piece to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle both sides of pork with black pepper and salt. Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add pork; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done.

3. Serve vegetable mixture over noodles; top with pork slices. Garnish with parsley, if desired. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1-1/4 cups sauce, 3/4 cup noodles, and 4 pork slices).

how about making rosti?

Here's an embarrassingly simple Old Standby of mine. Feel free to increase the oregano, add red pepper flakes, etc. For a more robust dish, you can also sautee green pepper slices and/or onion slices with the garlic.

This is a somewhat "dry" dish, so if you want something "saucy" to serve over pasta, just double or triple everything except the beef.

Cheers,
Phoebe
