Note

* Veal Loin Preparation: Ensure the loin is boneless, rolled tightly, and securely tied with kitchen twine to maintain its shape during cooking. It should weigh approximately 2.75 to 3 lbs.

** Mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms should be trimmed of any dirt and chopped into bite-sized pieces before sauting.

*** Stock Substitute: If chicken stock is unavailable, water can be used, though stock provides richer flavor.

**** Truffles: For best flavor, soak the chopped truffles in 1/4 cup of cognac for 1-2 hours before adding to the sauce. Drain before adding if desired, or include the soaking liquid for extra aroma.

Safety: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the veal is cooked to your desired doneness. Resting the meat is crucial for retaining juices.
