  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons ghee or clarified butter, divided use

Recipe notes
This easy veal dish is pan-seared then simmered in white wine before cream and bleu cheese are added for a velvety sauce that comes together in minutes.
RECIPE Preparation
  1. Season veal steaks with salt and pepper on both sides then dust with flour. Heat 2 tablespoons of the ghee in a large sauté pan over medium-high flame. Add veal steaks, and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove veal to a plate.
  2. To the same pan, add remaining tablespoon of ghee and shallots. Sauté until shallots are golden, about 4 minutes. Add wine to the pan, scraping up any browned bits; return veal and any accumulated juices to the pan. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until wine is reduced and veal is cooked to medium, about 10-15 minutes. Remove medallions to a cutting board to rest.
  3. Raise the heat to medium and stir in cream, cook until thickened and bubbly about 5 minutes. Add Roquefort and stir until melted. Add parsley.
  4. Serve with boiled potatoes and a generous helping of sauce.
