Cuisine: German
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 veal steaks
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 cup cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Take the veal steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. This helps them cook evenly.
- While the steaks are resting, juice the lemon and set the juice aside. In a small bowl, mix the curry powder with the cream until well combined. This will form the base of your curry sauce.
- Season both sides of the veal steaks generously with salt and pepper. This will enhance the flavor of the meat.
- In a large skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking before adding the steaks.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the veal steaks in the skillet. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Once the steaks are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate to rest. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the curry and cream mixture. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to incorporate the flavors.
- Add the lemon juice to the curry sauce, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
- To serve, place a veal steak on each plate and generously spoon the curry sauce over the top. Pair with your choice of sides, such as rice or steamed vegetables.
- Enjoy your Kalbsschnitzel in Currysosse with a refreshing salad or a glass of white wine!
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always let your veal steaks rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking and maximum tenderness.
- Oil and Heat Management: Use a heavy-bottomed skillet and ensure the oil is hot but not smoking. This creates that perfect golden-brown exterior while keeping the inside juicy.
- Meat Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for perfectly cooked veal.
- Sauce Secrets: When making the curry sauce, scrape up those delicious browned bits from the pan - they're packed with flavor!
- Seasoning Hack: Don't be shy with salt and pepper. Generously season the veal before cooking to enhance its natural flavors.
- Resting Matters: Always let the meat rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender schnitzel.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair this dish with simple sides like rice or steamed vegetables to let the curry sauce be the star of the show.
