Best Jagerschnitzel With Bacon Mushroom Gravy Jager Hunter Recipes

JäGERSCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Fry the chopped bacon over medium-high heat until browning and the fat has been rendered.
• Add 2 tablespoons of butter and melt with the bacon.
• Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms, saute for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the onion is translucent.
• Add the tomato paste, seasoning (salt, pepper, paprika), Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
• Whisk to combine and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
• The gravy should thicken while simmering. If it does not combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water to make a slurry. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the gravy to thicken if needed. If your gravy is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
• Using three shallow dishes, make a dredging station. Combine all-purpose flour with salt and pepper in the first, beat the large eggs in the second, and place plain breadcrumbs in the third.
• Move each piece of pork individually through the dredging station steps. Start with coating the pork in flour, shaking off excess flour before moving to the next step.
• Coat the flour-coated pork thoroughly with the beaten egg. Allow excess egg to drain off pork before moving to the next step.
• Bread the egg-coated pork with the plain breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumb into the pork gently, patting it onto the sides and all surfaces as needed.
• Pan-fry the breaded pork in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Use enough oil so that the heated oil comes up a bit over halfway on the sides of the pork cuts. Cook for approximately 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the fried schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate when done and repeat for each pork chop or pork steak. Schnitzels can be kept in a warmed oven while the remaining pork is fried.
• Heat the gravy if needed before serving, then serve each schnitzel with a generous amount of gravy for a wonderful jagerschnitzel dinner.
