Veal and Sauce

Polenta

Vegetables

Method

Preparing the Veal and Sauce

  1. 1

    Cook Pancetta

    In a skillet, cook the pancetta over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sear the Veal

    In the same skillet, sear the veal filet on both sides until browned. Remove and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Add port wine and beef stock to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Figs

    Add chopped Mission figs to the sauce and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

Cooking the Polenta

  1. 5

    Boil Water

    In a pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.

  2. 6

    Add Cornmeal

    Gradually whisk in cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for about 20 minutes until thickened.

  3. 7

    Finish Polenta

    Stir in Taleggio cheese and butter until melted and smooth.

Grilling the Asparagus

  1. 8

    Prepare Asparagus

    Trim the asparagus and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 9

    Grill Asparagus

    Grill asparagus on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

Plating

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a serving of polenta, top with the veal filet, and drizzle the port-fig jus over. Arrange grilled asparagus on the side.

  2. 11

    Garnish

    Garnish with crispy pancetta and additional figs if desired.
