Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal medallions (about 1 inch thick)
• 4 slices Prosciutto slices
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
• 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the veal medallions dry with paper towels to ensure proper browning during cooking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, fresh rosemary, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade over each veal medallion, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Let the veal sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

Wrap each veal medallion tightly with a slice of prosciutto. Press gently to secure the prosciutto in place; the natural texture of the meat will help it adhere.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Brush the grill grates with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the prosciutto-wrapped veal medallions on the hot grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes on the first side without moving them, allowing the prosciutto to crisp and release from the grill.

Step 7

Flip the medallions carefully and grill for an additional 4–5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature of the veal reaches 145°F for medium doneness.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the medallions from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Serve the grilled prosciutto-wrapped veal immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top and your favorite sides.
