Ham Viennese
Incredibly easy and equally satisfying. I loved this as a kid growing up and is our kid’s often requested dinner.

Although I haven’t made this dish in ages, it was one of the first I tried when DH and I were dating, and I made dinner for him! For that reason, I’m glad I found this cookbook (Betty Crocker’s New International) to share this sentimental (for us) dish. I remember it being a very tasty dish; it’s not very colorful, but it does have a nice flavor, and when made with light sour cream, isn’t too detrimental to the waistline! It’s described as both Hungarian and Austrian in its origin, “betyar fogas”, and the note says that it’s often accompanied by boiled russet potatoes. I used to serve it with a colorful salad, since a white fish dish and white potatoes was way too bland!
This recipe is from week 17 of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Austria is my 17th stop. Filet mit Äpfeln is a simple beef tenderloin served over pan fried apples and a potato cake, topped with mushrooms.
Unlike the Hungarian version, Viennese goulash is not soup-like. This hearty recipe will warm you on cold days! The recipe comes from an Austrian travel brochure.
By “Rostbraten”, an Austrian means a thinly sliced sirloin steak which is slightly pounded, seasoned and quickly fried in hot oil. It is always served with a pan gravy. This basic application serves many recipes, of which the one topped with crispy fried onions is the most popular.
