Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 ⅓ pounds veal medallions

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • ½ cup Marsala wine

  • ½ cup water

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

  1. Place veal between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface; pound to 1/4-inch thickness with the smooth side of a meat mallet. Pat dry with a paper towel and dust with flour on both sides.

  2. Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it starts to foam. Add veal; cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Season with salt. Transfer veal to a plate. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

  3. Pour Marsala wine into the same skillet. Stir to scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, about 2 minutes.

  4. Stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until cornstarch dissolves. Stir into the Marsala wine in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

  5. Return veal to the skillet; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and serve topped with sauce.
