When you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, veal with peppers and onions is always a good option. It's a classic dish that's full of flavor, and it's sure to please the whole family. The key to making a great veal with peppers and onions is to use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Look for veal that is a light pink color and has no signs of bruising or discoloration. The peppers should be crisp and brightly colored, and the onions should be firm and white. You'll also need some olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.

VEAL SCALLOPINI IN A SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE
This recipe has been in the family for generations. The meat is so tender and with the red pepper sauce, is so flavorful you'll want to make it at least once a week! I love serving this with a spring mix salad with a balsamic vinaigrette. Instead of scallopini, you can use veal cutlets and sometimes beef cutlets. The beef cutlets would take another 10 minutes longer cooking with the sauce.

Steps:
- Pound veal cutlets a few times with a meat mallet to tenderize, if desired. Beat egg with milk in a shallow bowl. Stir bread crumbs, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl until well combined.
- Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or enough to cover the bottom of a skillet, over medium heat. Dip each cutlet in egg mixture and then in crumb mixture to coat. Fry the cutlets in the hot oil until browned, about 3 minutes on each side. Drain cutlets on paper towels.
- Heat 2 more tablespoons vegetable oil in the same skillet; cook and stir red bell peppers and onion in the hot oil until soft, about 8 minutes. Pour stewed tomatoes into vegetables and stir in water and sugar, dissolving sugar into the sauce. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Place veal cutlets into the sauce, cover, and simmer until veal is very tender, about 30 more minutes.

Tips:
- To ensure the most tender veal, choose cuts from the rib, loin, or sirloin. These cuts are known for their fine texture and delicate flavor.
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in veal. The bones add depth and complexity to the dish.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-sliced veal cutlets. Just be sure to pound them thin before cooking to ensure they cook evenly.
- Season the veal generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the meat.
- Sear the veal over high heat to create a nice crust. This will help to lock in the juices and prevent the meat from drying out.
- Once the veal is seared, reduce the heat and cook it slowly until it is tender. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the meat.
- When cooking the peppers and onions, be sure to use a large skillet or wok. This will give the vegetables plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Add a splash of white wine or broth to the skillet to help deglaze the pan and create a flavorful sauce.
- Serve the veal with the peppers and onions over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
