Veal Prince Orloff, veal Prince Orlov, veal Orloff, or veal Orlov ( French: veau Orloff or veau Orlov) is a 19th-century dish of French cuisine, which was created by the French chef Urbain Dubois in the employ of Prince Orloff, former Russian ambassador to France. [2] The dish consists of a braised loin of veal, thinly sliced, filled with a thin layer of finely chopped mushrooms ( duxelles) and onions (as soubise) between the slices, then reassembled in the original shape. It is then topped with Mornay sauce ( bechamel sauce with cheese) and browned in the oven. [2]
Similar dishes are popular in Russia today where they usually go by the name French-style meat (Russian: мясо по-французски, tr. myáso po-frantsúski). [2] [3] In these varieties, veal is often replaced by cheaper sorts of meat, such as beef or pork, and the Mornay sauce may be replaced by mayonnaise. A layer of sliced potatoes is also often added.
