Veal sauté is a staple among slow-cooked dishes, prized for its tenderness and delicate flavors that emerge after slow cooking. It is prepared using specific cuts of veal, such as the shoulder, neck, tenderloin, brisket, or shank, which combine great flavor, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, and reasonable prices. These cuts, rich in collagen, transform during cooking into tender meat, enveloped in a naturally creamy sauce.

It is not necessary to use the most premium cuts of veal for this type of recipe. Cuts like the tenderloin, sirloin, or fillet are actually better suited for quick cooking and grilling (roasts, cutlets, grenadins), where their tenderness can be fully appreciated.
