Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound veal (cut into thin slices, read notes)
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • all-purpose flour (as needed)
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • parsley (chopped)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Season the meat with salt and pepper, then dredge the slices in flour, shaking off the excess. Set aside.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Arrange the slices in the pan and cook on both sides until the edges are lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.
  • Mix the lemon juice with ¼ cup of water, then pour it over the veal. Shake the pan and cook for 8-10 more minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  • Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

  • If you can’t find thinly sliced veal, you can pound regular slices to make them thinner. Use a meat tenderizer and cover the meat with parchment paper to avoid breaking the fibers.
  • This dish can be made with pork or chicken too, just remember to use always thin slices so they cook quick and remain nicely tender.
