Ingredients

• 1 lb Veal cutlets
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large Green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Chicken or beef broth
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Season the veal cutlets on both sides with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the veal in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the veal cutlets to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the veal and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 6

Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the sliced red, yellow, and green bell peppers, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until they begin to soften.

Step 9

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken or beef broth, then stir in the dried oregano.

Step 10

Return the veal cutlets to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

Step 11

Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the veal to cook through.

Step 12

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 13

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side, if desired. This dish pairs well with rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
