Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb Veal tenderloin
  • 1 lb Cremini mushrooms
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 cup Dry white wine
  • 1 can Coconut cream
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 4 servings Rosti potatoes

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1.5 lb veal tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick. Slice the 1 lb cremini mushrooms. Finely chop the 1 medium onion and 2 cloves garlic.
  2. 2Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Add half of the veal strips and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove the seared veal from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining veal strips, adding them to the skillet, searing, and then setting them aside with the first batch.
  3. 3Add the chopped 1 medium onion and 2 cloves garlic to the same skillet. Sauté over medium heat (300°F / 150°C) for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion is softened and translucent. Add the sliced 1 lb cremini mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are tender.
  4. 4Pour the 1/2 cup dry white wine into the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high (375°F / 190°C) and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. The liquid should reduce slightly.
  5. 5Stir in the 1 can coconut cream and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat (325°F / 160°C) and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until it has thickened slightly. Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. 6Return the seared veal strips to the skillet with the sauce. Stir to coat the veal and allow it to heat through for 1-2 minutes over medium-low heat (275°F / 135°C). Do not boil the sauce once the veal is added.
  7. 7Stir in the 1/4 cup fresh parsley. Serve the Zürcher Geschnetzeltes immediately hot over the 4 servings rosti potatoes.
