Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the veal scaloppine between two sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper and pound gently until thin, using a sliding motion to stretch rather than flatten the meat.
  2. Lightly coat both sides of the pounded veal with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. Season the floured veal evenly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. In a large heavy skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter with olive oil over high heat until the butter foams.
  5. Add the veal to the skillet in a single layer (working in batches if necessary) and cook for about 1 minute per side until light golden brown but still pink inside.
  6. Remove the cooked veal from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
  7. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and 3/4 cup of dry Marsala wine (or sherry) to the skillet.
  8. Deglaze the skillet by scraping up the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon, stirring to dissolve the meat juices.
  9. Simmer the wine sauce until it is reduced by half and slightly thickened.
  10. Return the veal and any accumulated juices to the skillet, gently tossing to coat the meat with the sauce.
  11. Transfer the veal to a serving platter and spoon the remaining sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
