its a general veal oscar recipe. lump crab meat is better with this some scallions and mushrooms make a good addition to the veal

Excellent! This is a beautiful dish to serve and absolutely wonderful. I did have a little trouble keeping everything warm since it cooks so quickly. I boiled the asparagus first, removed from heat but left them in the water while I cooked the veal. I bought pre-cooked crab legs and tossed the bag in with the aspargus to heat them while the veal was cooking. My husband really felt special. Thanks!
