Musk Ox Scaloppini

Ease of Preparation: Easy
Time of Preparation: 25 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
 

Ingredients:

• 4 escalope of musk ox, 80 to 100 grams each (3 to 4 ounces)
• 1 cup flour
• salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 milliliters)
• 4 shallots, sliced
• 4 cups wild mushrooms, sliced
• 500 milliliters port (2 cups)

Method:

Place the escalope of musk ox between two layers of plastic wrap and pound until thin with a rolling pin or the bottom of a saucepan. Cover both sides of the scaloppini with well-seasoned flour. Put the olive oil in a pan over a high heat. Sear the scaloppini and remove from the pan and keep warm once browned.

Turn the heat down to medium and add the shallots. Once they begin to caramelize add the mushrooms and cook for about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the port and allow to simmer for a couple of minutes. Serve on a plate with the port and mushroom sauce over the top.
