Ingredients
- 500 grams veal (cut into thin strips)
- 200 grams white mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 100 ml dry white wine
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 100 ml chicken or veal stock
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 to taste salt
- 1 to taste black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Season the veal strips with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Sear the veal strips in batches for about 2-3 minutes until just browned. Remove the veal and set aside.
Step 3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Sauté the onions until translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Step 5
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and mushrooms, stirring well to coat evenly.
Step 6
Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 7
Pour in the chicken or veal stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 8
Stir in the heavy cream and continue cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 9
Return the veal strips to the skillet, along with any juices they released. Simmer gently for 2-3 more minutes, taking care not to overcook the veal.
Step 10
Add the lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
Step 11
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving. Serve hot with rösti, noodles, or rice.
