Wooden or silicone spatula
- 4 veal cutlets, about 1-1¼ lb
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup white button mushrooms, cleaned, stems removed, caps thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- ¾ cup dry marsala wine
- ¼ cup sherry vinegar
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
- Chopped parsley, for serving
Dredge the veal. Slice the cutlets into pieces about 1½-2-inches in size. Next, combine ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp Kosher salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper in a medium bowl, shallow dish, or Ziplock bag. Whisk well, then toss the veal medallions in the flour mixture to evenly coat on all sides. Set aside.
Sauté the veggies. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes. To this, add the sliced mushrooms and cook an additional 3-5 minutes more, or until mushrooms turn a light golden brown. Add chopped garlic, stir, then season with ½ tsp Kosher salt and cook 30 seconds more.
Cook the veal. Shake off excess flour, then add the dredged veal to the pan with the mushroom mixture. Cook veal until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the liquid. In a 2 cup measuring cup, combing ¾ cup dry marsala wine, ¼ cup sherry vinegar, and 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar. Pour into the skillet with the veal, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula to release any browned bits.
Simmer, then serve. Reduce the heat to medium, then simmer until sauce has thickened and veal is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Garnish with grated Parmigiano Reggiano and a sprinkling of freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately!
