Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the veal strips in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for a few hours before cooking. If you're out of beef stock, chicken stock or vegetable broth can work as a substitute. For a gluten-free option, use cornstarch instead of flour to thicken the sauce.
