Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil.
Season the veal strips with salt and pepper. Add the veal in small batches to the skillet, searing until lightly browned on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Sprinkle the flour over the shallots and garlic. Stir well and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the wine reduces slightly.
Pour in the chicken or veal stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Return the veal strips to the skillet, mixing them gently into the sauce. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the veal is tender and fully cooked.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, then stir in the lemon juice for brightness.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot, paired with rice, noodles, or creamy mashed potatoes.
