Cooking steps

1
Wash the meat, dry it, and cut it into medallions about 4 cm thick across the grain. Wrap with twine to maintain shape. Sprinkle with pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 1 hour.
Required ingredients:
1. Veal fillet: 600 g
2. Crushed black pepper: 2 teaspoons

2
In a heated frying pan with butter, 'seal' the pieces of meat. To prevent the butter from burning, add a little vegetable oil. Fry on high heat until a nice crust forms on all sides. Use tongs or a spatula to turn the meat; never use a fork, or all the juice will escape. Set the meat aside in another dish while preparing the sauce in the same pan.
Required ingredients:
1. Butter: 50 g
2. Crushed black pepper: 2 teaspoons

For the sauce, wash and chop the mushrooms. Sauté black pepper in a pan. Add the mushrooms and fry for 2 minutes. Dice the onion and add it to the mushrooms as well. Cover with a lid and simmer for about 7 minutes on low heat.

Transfer the meat to the prepared sauce, add oregano and stir. Cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the dish cool slightly under the closed lid.
