Ingredients

1 1/2 pound Veal steaks
2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/3 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup sour cream
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1
Season the veal steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.
2
Dredge the seasoned steaks in flour, coating both sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
3
Heat the butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Add the veal steaks to the skillet and cook on one side until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
5
Flip the steaks and cook on the other side for about 5 minutes, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
6
Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
7
Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the same skillet.
8
Saut the onion and garlic until the onion is soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
9
Add the sliced mushrooms and paprika to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, about 5 minutes.
10
Season the mushroom mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
11
Pour in the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the wine has almost completely evaporated.
12
Reduce heat to low. Stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Heat gently without letting it boil to prevent curdling.
13
Return the veal steaks to the skillet, turning them to coat evenly in the sauce.
14
Serve immediately, spooning the remaining sauce over the steaks.

Note

This dish is traditionally known as "Steak de veau hongroise" and pairs exceptionally well with egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.

If you prefer a richer sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream along with the sour cream.

Ensure the sour cream is at room temperature before adding it to the hot pan to minimize the risk of curdling. Do not let the sauce boil after adding the dairy.
