Veal Marsala Recipe

Recipe:

Step 1: Season veal with half the salt and pepper; dust one side of each piece with flour.

Step 2: In large skillet, heat half of the butter over medium high heat just until melted. Add the veal in batches, flour side down, in a single layer; cook for 1 minute. Turn over and cook just until cooked through, about 1 minute. Transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining butter and veal.

Step 3: Add shallots to pan and cook until translucent and softened, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook until mushrooms are golden, about 3 minutes.

Step 4: Deglaze the pan with the Marsala, scraping any bits from the pan with a wooden spoon. Add stock and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

Step 5: Stir in cream and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the veal to the sauce to warm. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
