2/ Pan fry the 6 small bacon slices, they should be crispy, then remove them onto absorbent paper.
3/ In a casserole put the butter with a drop of oil, when the butter becomes "brown butter" color place your veal grenadins to cook, 5 minutes on one side, salt pepper, then turn them over, cover and cook 5 minutes on the other side. remove your filets and keep them warm in a small dish under aluminum foil for at least 15 minutes for the meat to rest.
