How to prepare Veal Strips with Cashews

To prepare the veal strips with cashews, wash 2 lemons and 2 oranges. Then take the oranges and peel them with a sharp knife 1 removing only the orange part, as the white would be bitter. Then cut the peel into very thin strips 2 and do the same with the lemons 3.

Blanch the peels for 2 minutes in boiling water 4, then drain well 5 and transfer to a bowl 6. Squeeze all the citrus fruits and set the juice aside.

Cut the veal into strips 7. Finely chop the shallot and brown it in a large pan with a drizzle of oil 8. Meanwhile, place the meat in a tray and sprinkle the corn starch over it 9.

Mix to coat the veal strips well 10. Add them to the pan 11 and sauté for a few more minutes 12.

Salt, pepper, and deglaze with the wine 13. Once it has evaporated, add the citrus juice 14 and the cashews 15.

Add half of the blanched peels 16 and mix well 17. Let the sauce reduce and thicken; the strips will cook for about 15 minutes in total. Serve your veal strips with cashews garnished with chopped chives and citrus peels to taste 18!

Storage

The veal strips with cashews can be stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to one day. When serving, gently heat them in a pan, adding a splash of water or broth to keep the meat tender.

Tip

To make the dish even more delicious, you can toast the cashews in a pan for a few minutes before adding them to the meat: they will release all their aroma and provide an irresistible crunch.

For tender and flavorful strips, choose a lean and tender cut of veal, such as top round, eye of round, or sirloin: these parts cook quickly and remain juicy even with a short sauté.
