Zrazy are thin slices of beef pounded flat, rolled around a filling of pickled cucumber, sautéed onion, mushrooms and chopped boiled egg with breadcrumbs, then browned and braised until tender. The sauce, thickened with a little flour, is savory and gently tangy from the pickles. They are served with potatoes, buckwheat or cabbage.

Recipe

Ingredients

600 g beef topside, cut into 8 thin slices
2 pickled cucumbers, cut into strips
2 onions, chopped
150 g mushrooms, chopped
1 boiled egg, chopped
2 tbsp breadcrumbs
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp oil
400 ml water, salt, pepper, bay leaf

Method

Pound the beef slices thin and season with salt and pepper.
Sauté half the onion with the mushrooms, then mix with the egg and breadcrumbs.
Spread the filling on each slice, add a pickle strip, roll up and secure with a toothpick.
Dust the rolls with flour and brown them in the oil on all sides.
Add the remaining onion, the water and the bay leaf; cover and braise gently for about 1 hour 15 minutes until tender.

How to make it lighter

Use lean topside and trim visible fat before pounding.
Brown the rolls in a non-stick pan with 1 tbsp oil instead of 2 (1 tbsp oil ≈ 120 kcal).
Serve with steamed vegetables or cabbage rather than a large portion of potatoes.

History

Zrazy have been part of Polish and Lithuanian cooking for centuries and are often linked to the noble kitchens of the old Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Today they remain a classic Sunday and holiday dish in Poland.
