Directions

  1. 1Tenderize the veal.
  2. 2Dry the veal really well between paper towels.
  3. 3Whisk all-purpose flour and kosher salt.
  4. 4Dredge the veal in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  5. 5Add sage to the veal.
  6. 6Season the veal with kosher salt.
  7. 7Place a full slice of prosciutto over the veal.
  8. 8Give it a gentle tap just to adhere to the veal; it will be a little tacky.
  9. 9Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds.
  10. 10Add a few tablespoons of olive oil and heat for 20 seconds until it shimmers.
  11. 11Add the veal to the pan and do not touch it for 2 minutes.
  12. 12Flip the veal and cook for 1 minute.
  13. 13Reduce the heat to medium-low to avoid drying out the prosciutto.
  14. 14Keep the cooked veal warm in a low-heated oven or warming drawer.
  15. 15Add half a cup of Chardonnay to the pan with the brown bits and reduce it 3/4 of the way over medium heat.
  16. 16Add sage leaves and half a cup of cold unsalted butter, constantly moving the pan on and off the heat to prevent the sauce from breaking.
  17. 17Add a pinch of kosher salt to the sauce.
