Print Recipe

Veal Marsala is a classic Italian dish known for its tender veal cutlets cooked in a rich and flavorful Marsala wine sauce.

This elegant and delicious recipe combines the earthy flavors of mushrooms, the sweetness of Marsala wine, and the richness of butter to create a dish that is sure to impress.

The thinly sliced veal cutlets are lightly dredged in flour and sautéed until golden brown, then simmered in a Marsala wine sauce until tender and infused with flavor. The result is a dish that is both comforting and sophisticated. Let’s begin!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 veal cutlets, about 4 ounces each
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • All-purpose flour, for dredging
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh scallions and parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the veal cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge the cutlets in flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
  3. Add the veal cutlets to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the cutlets from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they start to brown and release their moisture, about 5 minutes.
  5. Deglaze the skillet with the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine cook for about 1 minute to reduce slightly.
  6. Stir in the chicken broth and return the veal cutlets to the skillet. Simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the veal is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Garnish with chopped scallions and parsley, if desired, and serve the Veal Marsala hot.

Notes

For the best results, use thin veal cutlets for faster cooking time and better tenderness. You’ll also want to use a good-quality Marsala wine for the best flavor. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of chicken broth or water to adjust the consistency.

Serve the veal marsala with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes or pasta to complete the meal. Enjoy!
