Veal Preparation

Marsala Sauce

Homemade Fries

Method

Preparing the Veal

  1. 1

    Sear the Veal

    Season the veal contrefilet with salt and black pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear the veal for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from skillet and let rest.

Making the Marsala Sauce

  1. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the chopped shallots and sauté until translucent. Pour in the Marsala wine and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Add thyme and let simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Cooking the Fries

  1. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Add the cut potatoes in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Serving

  1. 4

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the rested veal and serve it drizzled with the Marsala sauce alongside a generous portion of homemade fries.
