For the best flavor, use a high-quality dry Marsala wine. Sweet Marsala can make the sauce cloying. If you don't have Marsala wine, you can substitute with dry sherry or Madeira. Be careful not to overcook the veal, as it can become tough. Cook just until browned and cooked through. Serve immediately with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
15 mins
Prepare the Veal: Place veal slices between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Pat dry with paper towels and lightly dredge in flour, shaking off any excess. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02
Step
15 mins
Sear the Veal: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil until the butter foams. Add the veal in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Season with salt and transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. (Cook time: 10-15 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Deglaze the Pan: Pour Marsala wine into the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, creating a flavorful fond. Simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly. (Cook time: 2 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Create the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the Marsala wine. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 3-5 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Combine and Serve: Return the veal to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, allowing it to warm through and absorb the sauce. Serve immediately, spooning the Marsala sauce over the veal. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
