Method

Step 01

To prepare the veal

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.

Step 02

Heat a nonstick frying pan and grease with a drizzle of oil. Salt the veal and sear it on both sides. Add the garlic and thyme to the pan whilst searing.

Step 03

Transfer the meat only to the oven and cook until the centre reaches 45/50°C/113-122°F. Reserve any cooking juices.

Step 04

To prepare the tonnato sauce

Make a mayonnaise with the whole egg, egg yolks, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, sunflower oil and salt to taste.

Step 05

In a blender, combine the mayonnaise with the tuna, anchovies and capers.

Step 06

Transfer the sauce to the canister of a whipper siphon and charge it with nitrogen. Set it in the refrigerator to chill.

Step 07

To plate

Cut the meat into thin slices and arrange them in the centre of the plate in a concentric way and alternate them with tonnato sauce.

Step 08

Finish the dish with the veal juices, the capers, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, sea salt and black pepper.
