Ingredients

  • TARRAGON CREAM
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1/2 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 2/3 cups fat-free veal stock or chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup evaporated skim milk
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped tarragon leaves
  • pinch dry mustard
  • pinch freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 pounds veal tenderloin, all visible fat removed

Method

  • Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook until translucent. Add the wine and reduce until almost dry. Add the stock, bring to a simmer over low heat, and reduce by half.
  • Combine milk with arrowroot to make a thin paste. Remove the sauce from the heat and add the arrowroot mixture, blending well with a wire whisk.
  • Place saucepan over medium heat and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the tarragon, mustard, pepper and salt.
  • Preheat broiler. Spray a broiler rack with non-stick cooking spray. Put veal on rack and place under hot broiler for about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • Cut tenderloins into 6 pieces, 3 ounces each and top each serving with 2 tablespoons of sauce.
