Sometimes I just feel like enjoying a juicy, perfectly cooked piece of red meat.
We grew up with tender beef steaks and Schnitzel, so once in a while I get that craving.
It takes over my senses and even my mind. At some point, I end up thinking only about beef steaks.
Weeks after my last steak I catch myself day dreaming about a moist flavorful piece on my tongue.
In time, this behavior gets even worse, where one can see me looking into the far while drooling uncontrollably.
Cold meat cuts, sausages, veal, turkey meat, pate and plentiful future lunch and dinner dishes with a load full of meats.
To start my meat trail I am sharing and serving up this pan-roasted veal steak with herb butter recipe.
I have included the making of homemade herb butter so you should be covered with the authentic recipe.
The best thing you can do is to serve these steak when your friends are coming over, or surprise your family members with some really good food!
Serve with Yum Yum Sauce and Pan Fried Okra with garlic.

Yep … too much of a good thing can eventually get old. Understand why you can’t look at a chicken anymore. 🙂 We don’t eat a lot of beef but when we do, it’s usually a nice juicy steak. You now have me craving one. Love the herb butter as a condiment! We’re planning on picking up some steaks these week, so I’m going to have to try this. Thanks Helene!

So nice to see a post from you again! Hope things are going well for you. Anyway, I love meat too — although we don’t really eat that much of it, it’s one of those things that when you crave it, you need it. Terrific recipe — thanks.

This looks fabulous. The compound butter sounds delicious with that juicy steak! I can’t even imagine the reaction to a beef shortage in the US!

I had no idea that beef was banned in some places in India and so hard to get in other states! I am glad you will be filling up on it in Europe and I hope to see more delicious dishes on here, Helen!

This is totally different to how I cook steaks but they sound delicious. I’m glad you’re getting your cooking mojo back on and are able to find all the ingredients you love.

I heard that herbed butter was the secret to the success of many steakhouses. I’m going to try this and see if the rumour is accurate. 🙂
