For 4 persons

Here's how to make it
- Preheat the oven to 180°c.
- Sprinkle the veal loin with salt and pepper. If you like, you can sprinkle fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme over the meat.
- Heat some olive oil in an ovenproof pan over high heat. Fry the veal loin on all sides until golden brown.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast the veal loin for 20-25 minutes, or until medium-rare. The core temperature should be about 52-54°c.
- Remove the veal loin from the oven and let it cool. Wrap the meat in foil and place in the refrigerator to cool.
- In a blender or food processor combine the drained tuna, burner mayonnaise, capers, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Blend until a smooth sauce forms. Taste and adjust the flavor by adding more salt, pepper or lemon juice.
- Mix the mixed herbs in a bowl with a splash of extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cut the cooled veal loin into thin slices and place on a serving platter.
- Pour the tuna mayonnaise over the slices of veal loin. Garnish with the herb lettuce. Serve the baked vitello tonnato with capers, tuna mayonnaise and herb salad.
