2 tablespoons full-fat mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
250 ml whipping cream
1 large onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon oil

Preparation procedure

Preparing the cutlets Pound the meat into thin slices, season with salt and pepper, and coat in plain flour. In a pan, heat the butter with the oil and fry the cutlets on both sides until golden. Then remove them and set aside.
Sauce base Add the finely chopped onion to the pan drippings and sauté it until golden. Then add the full-fat and Dijon mustard and stir briefly.
Finishing the sauce Pour the cream into the pan and let everything simmer for a few minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Then return the fried cutlets to the sauce.
Simmering Cover with a lid and let the meat simmer over low heat for a few minutes so that it softens and absorbs the flavor of the sauce.
