Veal with Pears

For four (4):
40 grams or 1 1/2 ounces butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 thick veal steaks
3 small pears such as corella
1/2 cup (2 fl ounces) chicken stock
1/4 cup (2 fl ounces) white wine
1 tablespoon lemon thyme leaves
sea salt and cracked black pepper

Method

• Over high heat in a large pan, add butter and oil. When bubbling, cook the veal for 3-5 minutes each side or until browned. It really does not take longer than that
• Remove and keep warm. You can keep in a warmish oven for the next few minutes.
• Slice each pear into about six slices. Discard the cores. Cook the pear in the frying pan for three (3) minutes or until just tender. Remove and keep warm.
• Add the stock and white wine to the pan and simmer, scraping the brown pieces from the base of the pan.
• Add the lemon thyme, salt and pepper and book for five (5) minutes or until the sauce is slightly thickened.
• Serve the veal immediately with the pears and sauce.
  Serves 4.
