Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Season the veal strip with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Veal

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the veal and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the skillet and add the capers. Let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Return the veal to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing it to absorb the flavors. Remove the veal again and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into the sauce until melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the veal with the sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
