Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal medallions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Season the veal medallions on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the veal medallions and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the medallions from the skillet, cover them with foil, and set aside to rest.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, wasabi paste, chopped parsley, chopped chives, fresh thyme leaves, lemon zest, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Shape the wasabi herb butter mixture into a small log using parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up slightly.
Place the skillet (used for cooking the veal) back on medium heat. If needed, add a small additional drizzle of olive oil. Deglaze the pan with 1-2 teaspoons of water or stock, scraping up any browned bits.
Serve the veal medallions on warmed plates. Slice the wasabi herb butter and place a small pat atop each veal medallion, allowing the butter to melt slightly from the heat of the meat.
Optional: Garnish with additional chopped herbs and serve with a side of steamed vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.
