Directions

  1. Pat the veal dry and gently pound any thicker pieces to an even thinness. Season lightly with pepper; prosciutto will provide salt. Lay one sage leaf and one slice of prosciutto on each cutlet and secure with a toothpick if needed. Lightly flour only the veal side and shake off excess. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the cutlets in batches, prosciutto side down first, until the prosciutto is crisp and the veal is cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a warm platter. Add the wine to the skillet and reduce by about half, scraping up the browned bits. Add a splash of stock if the sauce needs volume. Return the cutlets briefly to coat, then serve immediately with the pan sauce.

Equipment

Large skillet; meat mallet or rolling pin; tongs; instant-read thermometer; toothpicks if needed

Food safety & storage

USDA guidance for whole veal cuts is a minimum 145°F internal temperature followed by at least a 3-minute rest. Because these cutlets are thin, avoid overcooking while still verifying doneness. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and reheat to 165°F.

Keep something good cooking.
