Description

This Rosemary-Lemon Veal Stir Fry is a delightful fusion of flavors that brings a touch of elegance to a quick weeknight dinner. Thinly sliced veal round steak is marinated in a fragrant blend of fresh lemon juice, crushed rosemary, and a hint of white pepper, ensuring every bite is tender and aromatic. The quick stir-fry method sears the meat perfectly, locking in juices while the cornstarch-thickened marinade creates a light, glossy sauce that clings beautifully to the strips. Finished with fresh parsley and optional lemon zest, this dish offers a bright, citrusy kick that cuts through the richness of the meat. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a low-carb, protein-rich meal that feels sophisticated yet remains incredibly simple to prepare. Serve immediately over rice or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete, satisfying experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut veal round steak into 2 x 1/2 x 1/4 inch strips.
  2. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, water, 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon of oil, rosemary, and white pepper to make the marinade.
  3. Pour the marinade over the veal strips and stir to coat evenly.
  4. Cover and refrigerate the veal for 15 minutes to marinate.
  5. Remove the veal from the marinade, reserving the liquid.
  6. Heat the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add the veal in a single layer (in batches if necessary) and stir-fry just until no longer pink, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Remove the cooked veal from the skillet and sprinkle with salt.
  9. Stir the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch into the reserved marinade until smooth.
  10. Return the veal to the skillet and pour the marinade over the meat.
  11. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  12. Garnish with chopped parsley and shredded lemon peel before serving.
