Description

Thin, tender veal cutlets pan-seared to golden perfection, swimming in the silkiest mushroom Marsala sauce—ready in under 30 minutes. Fancy enough for company, easy enough for a Tuesday night dinner win.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs veal cutlets, thinly sliced (about 1/4″ thick)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine (or dry white wine, or chicken broth)
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced thin
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Fresh parsley, minced
  • Arugula (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  2. Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
  3. Dredge veal cutlets in the mixture, shaking off the excess.
  4. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tbsp butter with 2 tbsp olive oil.
  5. When the bubbling stops, add veal cutlets in a single layer. Sear 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer to the wire rack and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
  7. Deglaze the hot pan with Marsala wine, scraping up browned bits.
  8. Add mushrooms and capers; cook until mushrooms are golden and liquid is mostly evaporated, about 5–7 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat, stir in remaining 2 tbsp butter until sauce is silky.
  10. Arrange arugula on plates, top with veal cutlets, and spoon the mushroom Marsala sauce over everything.
  11. Sprinkle with parsley and extra salt and pepper if you like.

Notes

Pound veal to 1/4” thick for best results. Chicken or pork cutlets also work great. Swap wine with broth for a kid-friendly version. Store leftovers (veal and sauce separately) up to 3 days in the fridge.
