Veal medallions are one of the most flavorful and rich cuts of meat that a person can enjoy.

These thin slices of tender and succulent veal can be cooked in many ways, but when paired with a velvety mushroom sauce, they become an unbeatable culinary delight. This recipe for veal medallions with mushroom sauce is easy to make and brings together some of the best flavors that Italian cuisine has to offer.

Ingredients

4 veal medallions
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup of sliced mushrooms
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup of dry white wine
1/2 cup of chicken broth
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Step 1: Season the Veal

Preheat your oven to 375°F and season the veal medallions with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a large skillet with olive oil over high heat.

When the skillet is hot, add the veal medallions and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown. Remove the veal from the skillet and place them in a baking dish. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until they are thoroughly cooked.

Step 2: Make the Mushroom Sauce

Add the sliced mushrooms, onions, and minced garlic to the same skillet where you seared the veal. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the mushrooms are lightly golden brown and the onions are translucent.

Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release any brown bits. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the sauce cook until it reduces by half.

Step 3: Thicken the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and unsalted butter until they form a paste. Add the mixture to the mushroom sauce, and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, usually for 2-3 minutes.

If you want a thicker sauce, you can add more flour and butter until you reach the desired consistency.

Step 4: Add Parsley and Finish the Dish

When the sauce has thickened and heated through, remove it from the heat. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley until it is evenly distributed in the sauce. Pour the mushroom sauce over the veal medallions, making sure that they are coated completely.

Serve immediately while the sauce is still hot.

Conclusion

Whether you are entertaining guests or looking for a special dish to celebrate a milestone, veal medallions with mushroom sauce are an excellent choice. The rich and tender flavor of veal pairs excellently with the earthy taste of mushrooms.

This recipe only takes a few steps to make and can be served with any side that you desire, from creamy mashed potatoes to light salad green.
