VEAL STRIPS IN WHITE WINE AND CREAM SAUCE (EMINCE DE VEAU)

Steps:

• In a heavy 10- to 12- inch skillet, melt 2 Tblsp. butter with the oil over high heat. When the foam subsides, drop in half the veal and, tossing the strips about constantly with a fork, fry for about 2 minutes.
• When the veal is delicately colored, transfer it to a large sieve set over a bowl. Melt 2 more Tblsp. butter in the pan, then drop in remaining veal and cook as before. Add the veal and its juices to the veal in the sieve.
• Add the remaining butter to the pan and melt it over moderate heat. Then stir in the shallots and cook for about 2 minutes before pouring in the wine.
• Raise the heat to high and stir until the liquid comes to a boil. Immediately add the cream and all the drained veal juices.
• Stirring constantly, boil briskly for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to about half its original volume and thickened lightly. Taste for seasoning.
• Return the veal to the skillet and turn it about until it is thoroughly coated with the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 2 or 3 minutes until the veal is heated through. Serve at once, accompanied, if you like, by Rosti.
