Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal medallions
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Season the veal medallions on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the veal medallions and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the medallions from the skillet, cover them with foil, and set aside to rest.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, wasabi paste, chopped parsley, chopped chives, fresh thyme leaves, lemon zest, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Shape the wasabi herb butter mixture into a small log using parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up slightly.

Step 5

Place the skillet (used for cooking the veal) back on medium heat. If needed, add a small additional drizzle of olive oil. Deglaze the pan with 1-2 teaspoons of water or stock, scraping up any browned bits.

Step 6

Serve the veal medallions on warmed plates. Slice the wasabi herb butter and place a small pat atop each veal medallion, allowing the butter to melt slightly from the heat of the meat.

Step 7

Optional: Garnish with additional chopped herbs and serve with a side of steamed vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.
