Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces veal medallions
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons shallots, finely minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the veal medallions with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Lightly dredge the veal medallions in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the veal medallions to the skillet and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side, until nicely browned. Remove the veal and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Stir in the minced shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Deglaze the pan with the dry white wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the heavy cream, chicken stock, and Dijon mustard to the skillet, stirring well to combine.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Return the veal medallions to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Let them heat through for 3-4 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
