METHOD
- Season the roast with salt and pepper lightly and wrap in the slices of prosciutto covering the entire exterior surface.
- Heat the oil in a skillet and sear the roast on all sides.
- Remove the roast to a cookie sheet and finish in the oven 375°F, about 5-7 minutes, ideal internal temperature to be 130°F.
- In same skillet, add the shallots and caramelize over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté briefly, and then add the mushrooms.
- Deglaze the pan with the white wine and reduce by half.
- Add the veal stock and simmer to reduce slightly.
- Add the butter cubes and allow to thicken the sauce while it reduces.
- Add the chopped parsley and salt to taste.
- When the roast is removed from the oven, allow to rest for about 5-7 minutes before slicing.
- Pour an equal amount of sauce onto each plate and place the slices of prosciutto wrapped veal on top in a spiral pattern. Odd numbers always look better for presentation.
- Add your favorite starch and/or vegetable to the plate to create a full meal.
