What each ingredient does

Roasted veal
Is the main protein being reheated, so gentle heat keeps it from drying out.
Butter
Adds fat and richness, helping the veal reheat and the pan sauce taste rounded.
Broth or juice
Provides liquid to form the pan sauce and carry flavor over the veal.
Caramel
Adds deep color and a hint of sweetness to the sauce.

The step that matters

Heat gently over low heat. Reheating meat too fast toughens its proteins and squeezes out moisture, leaving the veal dry and firm. Low, gentle heat warms it evenly so it stays tender.
