Pin Recipe
Ingredients
1
lb
veal cutlets (about 6 pieces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
All-purpose flour, as needed
3
oz (6 tablespoons)
unsalted butter
2
cups
sliced mushrooms (cremini, white button, or portobello)
½
cup
unsalted beef, chicken, or veal stock
1
teaspoon
chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Prepare the Veal:
Place veal cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat pounder to flatten and tenderize the meat.
Season the veal with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge it in flour.
Cook the Mushrooms: Sauté the mushrooms in a medium-hot pan until golden. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Veal:
In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Cook the veal cutlets until lightly browned on each side. Avoid overcooking.
Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce:
Deglaze the skillet with Marsala wine and stock, scraping any browned bits from the pan.
Reduce the liquid by half, then season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked mushrooms back to the skillet.
Whisk in the remaining butter to thicken the sauce.
Combine and Serve:
Return the veal to the skillet and gently heat through. Be careful not to overcook.
Finish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
