Rosemary-Lemon Veal Stir Fry
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
