Ingredients

  • 12 ounces boneless veal leg round steak or veal leg sirloin steak, cut 1/4 inch thick and trimmed of fat
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Cut veal into eight pieces. Place each piece of meat between two pieces of plastic wrap. Working from center to edges, pound with the flat side of a meat mallet to about 1/8-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle meat with salt and half of the pepper. Set aside.

    For sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine onion, the water, and garlic. Cover and cook until onion is tender. Stir in tomatoes, wine, oregano, capers (if using), and the remaining pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until desired consistency. Keep warm.

    Meanwhile, lightly coat an unheated large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium-high heat. Cook half of the veal about 2 to 4 minutes or until desired doneness, turning once. Remove veal, cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining veal.
