Step 1: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2: Add a generous amount of butter to the skillet and let it melt.

Step 3: Once the butter is melted, add thinly sliced veal strips to the skillet.

Step 4: Cook the veal strips until they are browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5: Remove the cooked veal strips from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 6: In the same skillet, add finely chopped onions and sauté them until they become translucent.

Step 7: Sprinkle some flour over the onions and stir well to combine. Cook for a minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 8: Slowly pour in some beef broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 9: Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 10: Reduce the heat to low and stir in some heavy cream, taking care not to let the sauce boil.

Step 11: Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg to taste.

Step 12: Return the cooked veal strips to the skillet and stir them into the sauce.

Step 13: Allow the veal strips to simmer in the sauce for a couple of minutes to heat through.

Step 14: Serve the Kalbsgeschnetzeltes hot, garnished with chopped parsley, alongside your choice of side dishes such as spaetzle, noodles, or rice.

Note: Kalbsgeschnetzeltes is traditionally served with a side of lingonberry sauce or cranberry sauce, which adds a tangy flavor to the dish.
