Meat
Fillet
Fillet of Veal is a boneless tender strip for quick high heat. Mild and lean—season carefully. Cook veal fillet to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Escalopes, osso buco, chops, and roasts show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
