Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon clarified butter over high heat and quickly brown meat strips until they're no longer pink. Remove from pan and keep warm.

• While stirring, slowly add the 1 cup dry white wine and 1 cup beef broth to the mixture. Bring to a boil and cook until sauce is reduced by half.
• Stir in the 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1/4 cup cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the browned meat back to the pan and warm, but do not cook the sauce any longer.
• Serve with the 2 tablespoons chopped parsley sprinkled on top.

ZüRCHER GESCHNETZELTES - ZURICH VEAL RECIPE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the flour over the meat and coat well. Heat half of both the butter and oil in a frying pan. As soon as the butter foams, add the meat and brown it very quickly on all sides. Set aside on a plate.
• Add the rest of the butter and oil to the pan and sauté the onion, garlic and sage for a few minutes, then add the mushrooms. Stir well and when the mushrooms start to soften, continue cooking for about 5 minutes longer.
• Add the wine to deglaze the bottom of the pan, using a wooden spoon to scrape away any crust that has formed. Add the veal and cook, stirring, until the wine has evaporated. Turn the heat down to low and cook for another 10 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper, and at the last moment, add the cream, let it bubble for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and serve.
