Ingredients

8 veal top round or round steaks, 1/4 inch thick (about 1 1/2 lb)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
8 thin slices imported prosciutto or cooked ham
8 thin slices (1 oz each) mozzarella cheese
8 fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

Pound each veal steak with flat side of meat mallet to tenderize and flatten slightly. Coat veal with flour; shake off excess. On each veal slice, layer 1 slice each prosciutto and cheese and 1 sage leaf. Roll up veal; tie with kitchen string or secure with toothpicks.
In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook veal rolls in butter about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown. Add wine; sprinkle rolls with salt and pepper. Cover; cook over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until veal is no longer pink in center.
