This recipe for veal Marsala takes a simple veal steak and escalates it by wrapping it in prosciutto and seasoning it with sage. Though it seems very fancy, it is simple enough for camping. It is an elegant but easy preparation.
The Marsala comes from the port-like alcohol called Marsala that is used as the flavor foundation for the sauce. Marsala is a dry, sweet wine from Sicily. If you don’t have any on hand, you can substitute sherry or port.Â
If you don’t have access to veal it can be substituted with beef, venison, or similar thinly cut steaks. Make sure to pound them thinly with the mallet, so they cook quickly as the prosciutto crisps.Â
Pound the veal steaks very thinly so they cook by the time the prosciutto is crisp.
Because the veal steaks are so thin, they only need a few minutes to cook all the way through.
This quick and easy dish makes for a beautiful presentation.
