Zrazy
Zrazy is a traditional dish, popular in Eastern European cuisines. It typically consists of rolled meat, pounded flat, stuffed with a filling, and then cooked. The filling can vary and is often made with ingredients like mushrooms, onions, cheese, or even vegetables. Zrazy are typically served with a delicious sauce or gravy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef (such as sirloin or flank steak)
- 1/2 pound mushrooms (cremini or button mushrooms work well)
- 1/4 pound onions finely chopped
- 1/4 pound cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar), sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the meat. Pound the beef to flatten it, making it easier to roll. Cut it into equal-sized pieces, about 3-4 inches wide.
- In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions until they become translucent.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay out the beef slices and place a spoonful of the mushroom and onion mixture on each slice. Top with a strip of cheese.
- Roll up the beef slices, securing them with toothpicks or kitchen twine to prevent them from unraveling.
- Heat another tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef rolls on all sides until nicely browned.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth and flour until well combined, creating a slurry.
- Pour the beef broth mixture into the skillet with the beef rolls, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Allow the rolls to simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and tender.
- Remove the toothpicks or kitchen twine from the beef rolls before serving.
- Arrange the Zrazy on a platter, spoon some of the cooking sauce over them, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve with side dishes like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
