Scrape in any browned bits clinging to the bottom and sides of the pan.
Return the veal to the skillet and arrange lemon slices on top. Cover

tender when pierced with a knife. Transfer scallops to a heated platter and
surround with lemon slices. Add the 1/4 cup of remaining beef stock to the
juices in the skillet and oil briskly until stock turns to a syrupy
glaze.Add the lemon juice and cook,stirring,for 1 minute.Pour sauce over
scallops. Serves 6.

possible. Follow directions above,but cooking time will be
