Directions
-
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.
-
Lightly coat both sides of the pounded veal with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
-
Season the floured veal evenly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
In a large heavy skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter with olive oil over high heat until the butter foams.
-
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.
-
Remove the cooked veal from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
-
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.
-
Deglaze the skillet by scraping up the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon, stirring to dissolve the meat juices.
-
Simmer the wine sauce until it is reduced by half and slightly thickened.
-
Return the veal and any accumulated juices to the skillet, gently tossing to coat the meat with the sauce.
-
Transfer the veal to a serving platter and spoon the remaining sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
