Veal Cutlet

Is There anything Basic About it?

Most people can tell when veal is tough, but is there anything more basic than veal? The answer really is up to you....

If you are a butcher, you can tell the difference between good veal and "OK" veal.

But if you are not, and tender is a concern, tenderizing the veal cutlet by pounding it flat will make a tough piece more tender when cooked. And including this recipe in your arsenal of easy meals will always be a clean plate club member.

Chris and I enjoy veal cutlet and when we find it at the local market where we specifically shop for our meat products, we usually purchase 2 or 3 packages.

The veal we get is sliced very thin and is marbled finely. Most of the pieces we just have to rinse and put in the saute' pan.

However, if you do not have a specialty market and purchase your veal from the shopping chains, ask the butcher to run your veal through the cube steak machine. They may or may not do that for you, but it does not hurt to ask.

If all the picks are thick pieces of veal, you will want to pound the pieces to make them thinner and more tender.

Not having a tenderizer is not a show stopper, but is your best bet for tenderizing. This item you can purchase in the large chain supermarkets or click on our cool tools tab and help support our site.

This entre` vealcutlet assumes you have a tender piece of meat but if you don't, or the piece is thicker than 1/4" you might want to perform a tenderizing step. (See video when available).

When done, these cutlets usually will melt in your mouth.....

So try a vealcutlet. You won't be disappointed.
