Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Veal cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 small, finely minced Shallots
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces, crumbled Blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Season both sides of the veal cutlets with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.
When the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, add the veal cutlets. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside on a plate, loosely covered with foil to keep warm.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the same skillet.
Add the minced shallots and garlic to the pan, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the crumbled blue cheese to the cream mixture, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Return the veal cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
