Veal Medallions With Shallots And Mushrooms Recipes

MEDAGLIONI DI VITELLO FUNGHI-- VEAL WITH MUSHROOMS & COGNAC

Steps:

• Preheat sauté pan (large enough to accommodate all 6 medallions without overlap) over medium high heat. Dredge each medallion in flour and shake off excess. Add butter to pan. When the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the medallions and sear on both sides. Remove to drain on paper toweling.
• Drain the butter from pan and add shallots, cooking until translucent. Add the shiitake mushrooms, stirring to incorporate with shallots. Cook about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and add Cognac. Return to the heat carefully to avoid flare-up. Reduce Cognac until almost dry. Add veal stock and reduce by half. Season with salt and pepper. Add cream and reduce by half, stirring occasionally to blend flavors. Return medallions to pan and coat well with sauce. Place on plates and spoon sauce on top. Garnish with sprigs of fresh parsley.
• Suggested wine - 2000 Mondavi/Frescobaldi Lucente or a favorite medium- to full-bodied red of your choice.

CLASSIC VEAL MARSALA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the veal medallions in flour, and season with salt and pepper. Cook in the heated skillet about 5 minutes, to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the skillet, place in a baking dish covered with foil, and keep warm in the preheated oven until ready to serve.
• Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet over medium low heat, and saute the shallot and mushrooms, scraping up any browned bits, until shallots are tender. Increase heat to medium high, and stir in the Marsala and garlic. Cook and stir until thickened. Mix the chicken broth and beef broth into the skillet, and continue to cook and stir until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Remove from heat, and whisk in the butter until melted. Serve over the veal.

SAUTEED VEAL MEDALLIONS WITH SAGE AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Season the veal with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until hot. Add the veal and brown well for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then turn and brown the second side for another 3 to 4 minutes. When the veal is nicely browned on both sides, remove from the pan. In the same pan, saute the onions in the pan juices for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they are browned. Add the mushrooms to the onions and saute together until the mushrooms begin to wilt. Add the white wine and reduce until the wine evaporates. Add the veal stock, sage, and Prosciutto, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, return the veal to the pan and reheat for 1 minute to warm. Continue to cook the mushrooms and sage sauce for an additional 10 minutes. Add the butter to the finished sauce and whisk until it is incorporated. Serve the veal on individual plates with some of the sauce spooned over it.;
