Step by step recipe

The cuts

Prepare ½ leek then slice it, prepare ½ shallot and slice it as well.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Cut 1 ¹⁄₃ cup veal into thin strips.

Reserve.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Prepare 2 ²⁄₃ cups mushrooms, then cut them in 4 in the height.

Reserve.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Cooking

In a frying pan (not non-stick if possible) on high heat, pour 2 tablespoons olive oil and when it is hot add the mushrooms.

Do not salt, otherwise they will give back all their water.

Stage 5 - 7 min.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

Stage 6 - 1 min.

At the end, add the juice of ¼ lemon, then salt and pepper...

Stage 7 - 1 min.

...and dump into a salad bowl.

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Return the same pan to medium heat, and without cleaning it add 1 tablespoon olive oil.

When hot, add the minced shallot, season with salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute without browning.

Stage 9 - 1 hour

Add the leek...

Stage 10 - 4 min.

...and cook until tender.

Stage 11 - 1 min.

Remove to the bowl as well.

Stage 12 - 3 min.

Return the same pan to medium heat, and still without cleaning it, add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil.

When they are hot, add the veal.

Stage 13 - 7 min.

Season with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Stage 14 - 1 min.

When the meat is cooked, pour in ²⁄₃ cup liquid cream all at once, and if you have any, add 1 tablespoon reduced veal stock.

Stage 15 - 10 min.

Allow to thicken, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spatula to deglaze the cooking juices.

Stage 16 - 2 min.

Add mushrooms and leeks at once, mix well and let heat up a few more minutes.

Check the seasoning.

Stage 17

Your minced meat is ready, serve it hot.

Remarks

The use of a classical (not non-stick) pan is quite important, because all the cooking will be done one by one in the same pan, to be able to take advantage of the juices and tastes of cooking of the previous one.

Keeping

Several days in the refrigerator, in a closed or filmed container.

Butter, which is excellent for fixing flavours in a recipe, burns if the temperature is too high. It darkens and produces unpleasant small black specks (by the way, note that the famous recipe "raie au beurre noir", ray in black butter, is a kind of sacrilege!).
