Flatten veal steaks to ¼-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Spread mustard evenly over veal; top each steak with a ham slice. Pat ¼ cup onion mixture evenly over ham slices; roll up jelly- roll fashion, and secure with a wooden pick. Place veal rolls, seam side down, on a rack in a shallow pan. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Bake at 325 degrees F for for 30 to 35 minutes or until tender. Remove veal from pan to serving platter; remove toothpicks, and cut into ½-inch slices.

Add white wine to pan; bring to a boil, stirring to loosen pan drippings. Pour over veal steaks; top with Onion Butter. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

Combine purple shallots and wine in a saucepan; cook over medium heat about 5 minutes or until wine evaporates. Cool. Combine shallot mixture onto waxed paper, and shape into a log 2-inches in diameter. Chill well. Cut into ½ slices to serve. Yield: ½ cup.
