Method

  1. In a large skillet, combine 3 1/2 tablespoons of oil, garlic, and 5 sage leaves. Heat over high heat until the garlic and sage start to brown (approximately 5 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. Pat the meat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Add half of the meat to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides (approximately 7 minutes). Transfer the browned meat to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining meat.

  3. Return the browned veal, reserved sage, and garlic to the skillet. Add the wine, deglaze the pan, and simmer until the wine reduces, scraping up any browned bits.

  4. Once the pan is almost dry, add the tomato paste and stir to coat the meat. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add 1/2 cup of broth. Reduce the heat, partially cover the pan, and simmer gently for about 1 hour, adding more broth occasionally to prevent the pan from drying out.

  5. In another skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat. Add the peppers and onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook while stirring frequently until the vegetables start to soften and caramelize (approximately 7 minutes). Remove from heat.

Why Choose Veal?

Veal, known for its tender and delicate flavor, is a fantastic choice for this recipe. It pairs perfectly with the vibrant and slightly sweet flavor of peppers, creating a harmonious combination that will have you coming back for seconds.

Gather Your Ingredients

Before diving into the cooking process, let's make sure we have all the necessary ingredients. You'll need high-quality veal cutlets, fresh bell peppers, aromatic garlic, fragrant onions, and a handful of flavorful herbs and spices.

Preparing the Veal

Start by seasoning the veal cutlets with salt and pepper. This simple step helps to enhance the natural flavors of the meat. Then, heat up a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil and cook the veal until it develops a golden brown crust. The sizzling sound and delightful aroma will make your anticipation soar!

Sautéing the Peppers

While the veal is cooking, let's move on to the peppers. Slice them into strips, ensuring they are all roughly the same size to ensure even cooking. In the same skillet used for the veal, sauté the peppers with onions and garlic until they become tender and slightly caramelized. The combination of the savory onions, pungent garlic, and sweet peppers will create a symphony of flavors.

Bringing It All Together

Once both the veal and peppers are cooked to perfection, it's time to combine them. Add the veal to the skillet with the peppers and let them simmer together for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and create a cohesive dish that will leave your taste buds in awe.
