4oz   Veal demi-glace
Salt & Pepper to taste
Small amount of flour for dredging

Preparation:
Lightly season and dredge veal in flour; shaking off any excess.
Preheat saute pan with oil and pan sear each side of veal until golden brown.  Remove Veal from pan and let rest.
Sweat leeks and mushrooms in same pan until both soften then deglaze pan with Cognac (CAREFUL!!) alcohol will ignite.
Reduce by half then add demi-glace and butter reducing again to a sauce type consistency.  Return veal with tomatoes to pan for a brief period to maintain tenderness of veal.  Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary and enjoy!
