Ingredients

• 500 grams veal or beef (thinly sliced)
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 500 ml beef stock
• 125 ml white wine
• 100 ml heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the thinly sliced veal or beef between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet to further flatten the slices. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Lightly coat the meat slices in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat until melted and bubbling.

Step 4

Working in batches, add the meat slices to the skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet, followed by the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Pour in the beef stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Return the seared meat slices to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the collops gently simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to tenderize.

Step 10

Uncover the skillet and stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish before serving.

Step 13

Serve the Scotch Collops hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the rich gravy.
