Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Season both sides of the veal cutlets with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge in Flour

    Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish and dredge each veal cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Cook the Veal

    Add the dredged veal cutlets to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the capers and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce for about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Return the veal cutlets to the skillet to coat them in the sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
