First, sear the saddle of veal heavily on both sides in a frying pan with olive oil, then finish steaming in the oven at 180 °C for about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Mix the yolks with the mustard, slowly whisk in the sunflower and olive oils or whisk into a mayonnaise.
Season this with salt, a squeeze of lemon juice and cayenne pepper.
Place the capers, veal stock, tuna and caper juice in a mixing bowl along with the mayonnaise and mix well, seasoning with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Peel one lemon with a kitchen knife so that no white skin is visible and cut into paper-thin slices.
Also cut the meat into thin slices, arrange on plates in a fan shape, sprinkle with coarse sea salt and drizzle a little tuna sauce on top.
Offer the rest of the sauce with it in a dessert dish. Decorate the Vitello Tonnato with lemon slices and some capers.
Preparation Tip:
Offer baguette and a green leaf salad with the Vitello Tonnato.
