Method
- Tie veal loin into a compact roll. Put onion in 1,720 g water, heat to 90 °C, add veal and poach 45 minutes at 85–90 °C until the centre reaches 63 °C.
- Lift out veal, measure 120 g poaching liquid for sauce and drain the remaining liquid with onion. Cover meat and cool 20 minutes, then refrigerate 20 minutes for clean slicing.
- Blend tuna, capers, anchovy, egg, olive oil, lemon juice and 120 g broth for 2 minutes into one smooth sauce.
- Slice veal 2 mm thin, arrange on four plates and cover with all of the sauce. Chill 10 minutes so sauce coats the meat.
