Veal Filet in Maple Sauce and Cream

Ingredients

  • 800 g (1 3/4 lb) Quebec Veal filet
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) butter or oil
  • 100 ml (1/2 cup) maple syrup
  • 300 ml (1 1/4 cup) cream

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
  2. Trim veal filet and season.
  3. In a frying pan, melt butter on high heat and brown filet on all sides.
  4. Place filet on a grill in a dripping pan and finish cooking in oven until inside temperature reaches 66°C (150°F).
  5. Meanwhile, deglaze frying pan with syrup and cream.
  6. Let reduce and simmer on low heat while stirring constantly with a whisk until desired consistency is reached. Salt and pepper at the end of cooking.
  7. Remove filet from oven and let stand for 15 minutes (in general, when the filet shrinks, it is sufficiently cooked enough with a pink colour inside.)
  8. Slice filet in medallions and coat with sauce. Accompany with small vegetables and egg noodles.
