  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 veal steaks (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work well)
  • 1 cup beef broth or stock
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the steaks (3 minutes): Season the veal steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Cook the meat (10 minutes): In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the veal steaks and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they’re nicely browned. Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the mushrooms and garlic (5 minutes): In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
  4. Deglaze the pan (2 minutes): Add the white wine to the pan, stirring to lift any bits stuck to the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, absorbing the flavors from the pan.
  5. Pour in the broth (7 minutes): Pour in the broth and allow the mixture to simmer until it reduces slightly, intensifying the flavors.
  6. Combine steak and mushroom sauce (2 minutes): Return the veal steaks to the skillet, spooning some of the mushroom sauce over them. Allow them to heat through.
  7. Add the artichokes (2 minutes): Place the drained artichoke hearts on top of the veal and mushroom sauce, letting them warm up.
  8. Serve and enjoy (1 minute): Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve!

Hasselback Potatoes with Herbs and Butter

Begin with medium-sized potatoes, preferably ones with a smooth skin. Place each potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons, which will act as guides, and make a series of thin slices across its top, ensuring you don’t cut all the way through. This fan-like texture allows for more surface area to crisp up in the oven. Melt some butter and brush it generously over each potato, ensuring it drips down into those lovely slits. Sprinkle freshly chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme over the top, adding aromatic charm to each bite. Bake in a preheated oven until the outside is golden and crispy, and the inside remains soft and fluffy.

Creamed Spinach

Start by wilting fresh spinach in a heated pan; you'll be surprised how much it shrinks down! Once wilted, set it aside. In the same pan, melt a generous knob of butter and sauté some finely chopped onions and garlic until they're translucent and aromatic. Stir in a splash of heavy cream, allowing it to simmer and thicken slightly. Fold the wilted spinach back into this creamy mixture, ensuring it's coated and soaking up all that rich flavor. Season with a touch of salt, pepper, and perhaps a hint of nutmeg for that classic touch. Once it's all beautifully melded together, serve it up!
