Veal in cheese and olive sauce

To prepare a delicious meal, it is essential to start in advance, so I recommend organizing yourself a day before. The first step is to clean the meat of skin and fat, ensuring you obtain a quality ingredient. After washing the meat, let it drain well, then cut it into thicker strips. These strips will be stuffed with bacon, which will add extra flavor and juiciness to your dish.

The next step is marinating the meat. For this, prepare a mixture of wine vinegar, which you will bring to a boil. Once the vinegar boils, add the other ingredients, mixing the composition well. Pour the hot mixture over the meat and let everything cool down. After it has cooled, put the meat in the fridge to marinate overnight.

On the day of preparing the meal, take the meat out of the fridge and cut it into smaller pieces. Chop the onion and garlic finely, and in the heated butter, sauté them until golden and fragrant. Then, add the meat and fry everything, stirring constantly, to brown it evenly. Once the meat begins to change color, let it simmer on low heat until the liquid completely evaporates.

Season the dish with salt, being careful not to use too much, as the olives and cheese are already salty. Add paprika and pepper to taste, then mix the composition well. It is time to add a teaspoon of sugar, which will enhance the flavors, leaving the dish on the heat for a few minutes to caramelize slightly.

Now, pour in the wine, broth, and, if necessary, a little water, depending on how much sauce you want to obtain. At this point, let everything simmer on low heat. While the ingredients blend harmoniously, bring the olives to a boil, then let them drain. Dissolve the starch in the sour cream, and when the meat is almost cooked, add the diced peppers and let them soften.

When the meat is well cooked, incorporate the olives, crumbled cheese, and grated cheese. Add the dissolved starch in sour cream and stir continuously on low heat, so the sauce binds perfectly. Check the taste and adjust with salt and pepper if necessary. Serve the dish hot, accompanied by a side of potatoes, either boiled or mashed. Those who prefer a touch of freshness can add lemon juice over the sauce. Personally, I chose to enjoy it with garlic and lemon mashed potatoes, a combination that perfectly complements the intense flavors of the dish.
