Ingredients

• 4 pieces veal medallions
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces shallots (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.75 cup dry white wine
• 0.5 cup chicken stock
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Pat the veal medallions dry with paper towels. Season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the veal medallions lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the butter is foaming, add the veal medallions in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the veal to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the shallots and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet with the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half.

Step 8

Add the chicken stock, heavy cream, and fresh thyme. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Return the veal medallions to the skillet, along with any juices that collected on the plate. Spoon some of the sauce over the veal and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the medallions to absorb the flavors and cook through.

Step 10

Finish the sauce by stirring in the lemon juice and fresh parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Serve the veal medallions hot, spooned generously with the wine sauce. Pair with mashed potatoes or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
