FOR THE SAUCE

1.Preparing the sauce; Sweat the chopped shallot in the butter without colouring for a few minutes. Add the white wine vinegar and boil to reduce down almost completely. Add the white wine and boil to reduce by half. Add the cream, bring to the boil, then leave to cool. Reserve. 2.Cooking the veal steaks; In a large non-stick pan, on medium heat, heat the butter until it foams and becomes a rich gold. Colour the veal steaks on both sides for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Remove the steaks to a small tray and keep warm. 3.Finishing the sauce; Discard the butter from the veal cooking pan and add the sauce ingredients from stage 1. Bring to the boil, then whisk in the mustard. Add the herbs, the tomato dice, the capers and seasoning, then simmer for 1 minute.

4.Serving; Arrange the veal steaks on a dish or plate. Pour the sauce over them, and serve to your guests. Posted to KitMailbox Digest by J Pellegrino <gigimfg@...> on May 26, 1998
