2 tablespoons peanut oil

3 tablespoons butter

1 lemon, juiced or 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup veal stock

Minced herbs (parsley, tarragon and chives)

Directions

Love Wolfgang's whole persona...wish he was still on. This is a dish that all the men in my house request often. The onions are, of course, delicious, but as the star of the meal, I've paired the beef with pasta, veggies, rice...just about anything. Classic!
