Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Veal (cut into thin strips)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 Shallots (finely chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 100 milliliters White wine
- 200 milliliters Beef or veal stock
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 teaspoons All-purpose flour
- 1 to taste Salt
- 1 to taste Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the veal strips with a pinch of salt and pepper. Lightly dust them with the flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the veal strips in batches to avoid overcrowding and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping any browned bits at the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the wine has reduced by half.
Pour in the beef or veal stock and let it reduce slightly for another 3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Return the cooked veal strips to the skillet, gently stirring to coat them with the sauce. Let them warm through for about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the Kalbs Geschnitzeltes to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately alongside Rösti, fresh pasta, or rice.
