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.

VEAL PIZZAIOLA

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:

  • To make sure the meat is evenly browned, use a wide skillet and brown the veal in batches if necessary.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet, or the meat will steam instead of brown.
  • Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. These bits add flavor to the sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until it has thickened and the flavors have melded.
  • Serve the pizzaiola over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
