Critical Success Points

  • Sear the veal without moving it to obtain a golden crust.
  • Properly deglaze with white wine to capture the cooking juices.
  • Emulsify the sauce by adding the oil very slowly to avoid separation.
  • Slice the veal very thinly for a melt‑in‑the‑mouth texture.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of hot oil splatters when searing the veal.
  • White wine is flammable; keep open flames away during deglazing.
  • Use a sharp knife to avoid cuts.
