Schnitzels in creamy sauce / Snitele in smantana

Ingredients:

• slices of beef / felii de carne de vita
• 1 Tbsp oil / 1 Lg ulei
• 2-3 Tbsp sour cream / 2-3 Lg smantana
• salt and pepper to taste / sare si piper dupa gust

Directions:

1. Put 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil in a wide pan, salt and pepper each slice of beef, then put them in the pan.
2. Fry them about one minute on each side on medium heat, then add water, 1-3 cups, depending on the quantity of meat. It should cover the meat partly, and it should be enough to be able to cook the beef on low heat for about an hour. Check it every once in a while, it may need more water, and at the end, add water depending on how much gravy you want to have in the end. I like to have a lot! Check for salt.
3. Add 2-3 Tbsp of sour cream (depending on the quantity of beef, or according to taste) and thicken sauce with corn starch.

Serve it with potatoes and other veggetables.
P.S. It seems too simple to be good, but give it a try. This is my favorite simple recipe. I often make it when I have guests and everybody asks me what spices I used that it is so good, and in fact all it has is sour cream...

1. Se pune uleiul intr-o cratita intinsa. Se sareaza si pipereaza fiecare felie, se pun toate in cratita.
2. Se prajesc cca 1 minut pe fiecare parte, apoi se adauga apa. O cana - doua, depinde de cantitatea de carne. Trebuie sa fie apa suficienta incat sa se fiarba la foc mic aprox o ora. Intre timp se verifica sa nu scada prea mult si se mai adauga apa daca este nevoie. La sfarsit se adauga apa in functie de cantitatea de sos dorita. Verificati de sare!
3. Se adauga smantana, 2-3 linguri, depinde de cantitatea de carne (sau de gust) si se ingroasa sosul cu amidon sau faina.
