Season the veal medallions with salt and black pepper, then dredge them lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the veal medallions for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the medallions from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining olive oil and butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until they are golden and have released their moisture.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Carefully pour the cognac into the skillet and deglaze the pan by scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Let the cognac simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken stock and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring thoroughly to combine. Let the sauce cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the veal medallions to the skillet, spoon some sauce over them, and let them simmer in the sauce for 3-4 minutes until the veal is fully cooked and tender.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately, ideally with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or a side of fresh pasta.
