Ingredients
- 450 g veal 1 pound, slices (approximately two medium thin slices per serving)
- 40 g unsalted butter 3 tablespoons
- 50 g flour ⅓ cup, all purpose
- 50 g lemon juice 3 tablespoons
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- First, beat the slices with a meat tenderizer on a cutting board. It's important to beat them very gently so that the meat tissues soften but not tear.
- Then flour the veal slices. Shake the slices to remove any excess flour and set them aside on a plate.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over low heat, then add the slices.
- Increase the heat slightly and cook for a few minutes on one side, then the other. Season with salt and pepper.
- While the slices are cooking in the pan, squeeze the lemon. Strain the lemon juice to prevent the seeds from getting into the sauce.
- Lower the heat and pour the lemon juice over the meat.
- Cook over low heat for a few minutes, just long enough for the sauce to thicken a bit.
- Turn off the heat and serve the veal scallopini while still hot with their lemon sauce. You can garnish the dish with some lemon zest and slices.
