Method
- Stud the meat with garlic cloves by inserting them with a knife.
- Sprinkle salt and paprika over it, then place it in a pot on the stove and brown it.

- Leave the veal fillet roast over medium heat until it's only half cooked.
- Remove the fillet from the water and place it in a roasting pan with the vegetables of your choice for roasting; set the boiled vegetables aside to use when making the sauce.
- Turn the oven to top heat only (broil) and occasionally baste the roast with its own broth.
- When the meat begins to take on a golden color, brush it with a little butter and remove the pan from the oven.
- Begin preparing the sauce: in a pan, melt butter and add flour, stirring.
- Add the roast poaching broth and salt and stir.
- Puree the boiled vegetables that were set aside and add them as well.
- Let the sauce simmer briefly.
- Serve the veal fillet roast with the sauce and potato purée or boiled pasta lightly tossed in butter.
