How to Make Veal With Cream Sauce

  1. Partially freeze the veal for 30 minutes to make slicing easier.
  2. Once slightly frozen, slice the veal very thinly across the grain into bite-sized strips.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice (or brandy), salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the veal strips and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Let the veal marinate for 10 minutes.
  6. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  7. Add half of the veal strips to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.
  8. Transfer the cooked veal to a heated serving platter and keep warm.
  9. Repeat steps 6-8 with the remaining veal.
  10. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
  11. Add the minced shallots and cook until softened but not browned, about 2-3 minutes.
  12. Pour in the white wine and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  13. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to about 1/4 cup.
  14. Gradually whisk in the heavy whipping cream, stirring continuously.
  15. Add the cooked veal strips to the sauce and gently heat through. Do not boil.
  16. Serve immediately, spooning the creamy sauce over the veal. Garnish and serve with your choice of fried potato cakes or mashed potatoes.
