Ingredients

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 red onion, halved, thinly sliced
8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps thinly sliced
6 tablespoons brandy
1 cup beef stock or canned beef broth
1 cup chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1 cup whipping cream

  1. Step 1

Remove skillet from heat; add brandy. Carefully ignite; when flames subside, return to heat. Simmer until brandy is almost evaporated, about 1 minute. Add beef stock and chicken stock; boil 5 minutes. Add cream; boil until sauce coats spoon, about 14 minutes. Pour sauce into bowl; clean skillet.

    Place flour in shallow dish. Sprinkle veal cutlets with salt and pepper; coat with flour. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in same heavy large skillet over high heat. Add 3 veal cutlets to skillet and sauté until brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer veal to plate. Repeat with remaining veal cutlets. Cover veal to keep warm.

    Step 3

    Melt remaining butter in same skillet. Add shrimp; sauté until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Pour sauce into skillet; stir until heated through, scraping up any browned bits. Divide veal among plates. Top with shrimp and sauce.
