This is a flavorful recipe for less tender cuts of beef or veal. I usually prepare this dish using beef chuck steak, beef round steak or veal chops. This can be cooked either on top of the stove or in the oven.

From the venerable Ristorante Villa Francesca in Boston's North End; this was in the Boston Herald's recipe request column in the 90's. I haven't tried it yet, but it looked too good not to share.

Time 30m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 ounces veal scallopini (thin round or oval slice of veal)
1 1/2 teaspoons butter
4 garlic cloves, chopped
6 ounces chopped tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1 pinch salt & pepper
1/3 cup white wine
chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oil in saute pan.
  • Saute veal very quickly until seared on both sides.
  • Drain oil, leave veal in pan.
  • Add butter and garlic, saute 30 sec.
  • Add remaining ingredients; simmer until sauce reaches desired consistency.
  • (If sauce is thin, remove meat while reducing sauce and return to pan when sauce is ready) Garnish and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality veal for the best flavor. Look for veal that is pale pink in color and has a fine grain.
  • Tenderize the veal: Pounding the veal with a meat mallet or using a fork to poke holes in it will help to tenderize it and make it more flavorful.
  • Brown the veal: Browning the veal in a hot skillet before adding the sauce will help to develop its flavor and give it a nice color.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what makes this dish so delicious, so be sure to use a flavorful one. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own using fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, and herbs.
  • Simmer the veal in the sauce: Simmering the veal in the sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize it and allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Veal pizzaiola can be served with a variety of sides, such as pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
