Ingredients

  • 4 thin cuts veal fillet (or pork) 
  • 1 tbsp oil 
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2–3 eschalots
  • 400–500 g mushrooms
  • 100 ml white wine
  • 100 ml veal or beef stock (liquid)
  • 250 ml cream
  • 2 tsp cornflour (optional)

Instructions

Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and 1 teaspoon of butter in a large frying pan and lightly brown the fillets on both sides or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

Melt the remaining butter in the pan, add the eschalot and mushroom and fry until the mushroom is soft and slightly brown.

Add the wine and allow the sauce to reduce. Add the beef stock and cream and season to taste. If the sauce is too runny, stir in some cornflour to thicken.

Return the meat with its juices to the pan and heat through in the sauce.

Serve with (German pasta) or potatoes.
