Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces veal medallions
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 pieces asparagus spears
- 1 cup lump crabmeat
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.5 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the veal medallions with salt and pepper on both sides.
Dredge the veal lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the veal medallions for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.
Steam or blanch the asparagus spears until tender but still crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, prepare the Hollandaise sauce by whisking the egg yolks, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and water together over low heat. Be careful not to overheat the mixture to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens and has a smooth consistency. Remove from heat and keep the sauce warm.
To assemble the dish, place a veal medallion on a serving plate. Top with 3 asparagus spears and 2-3 tablespoons of lump crabmeat.
Spoon the warm Hollandaise sauce generously over the top.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
