Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Veal, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 1 cup Dry white wine
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Tapioca starch
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 4 cups Cauliflower rice

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 1.5 pounds of thinly sliced veal with the 2 tablespoons of tapioca starch, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss well to coat the veal evenly.
  2. 2Heat the 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Once the butter is melted and shimmering, add the coated veal in a single layer, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Brown the veal for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the browned veal from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  3. 3Add the 1 medium chopped onion and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook over medium heat, about 300°F (150°C), stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are softened and translucent and the mushrooms have released their liquid and started to brown.
  4. 4Pour the 1 cup of dry white wine and 1/2 cup of beef broth into the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high, about 350°F (175°C), and bring the liquid to a simmer. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
  5. 5Return the browned veal to the skillet. Stir in the 1 cup of heavy cream. Reduce the heat to medium-low, about 250°F (120°C), and let the mixture gently simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon. The veal should be tender.
  6. 6While the stew is simmering, prepare the 4 cups of cauliflower rice according to your preferred method (steaming or sautéing) until tender. This should take approximately 5-8 minutes.
  7. 7Serve the Zürcher Geschnetzeltes immediately spooned over the prepared cauliflower rice.
