Steps:
- Place the veal in one tray and flour in the other.
- In a large non-stick skillet, and on medium heat, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter until butter is melted. Toss in a few capers into the butter and oil mixture.
- Dredging Veal Cutlets: Begin by taking each piece of veal, one at a time, and placing it into the flour to coat both sides with flour. Shake off excess flour, and place it into the heated skillet with oil, butter, and capers.
- Saute the veal until golden brown around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. These will cook up quickly, so you may want to lower the heat a little while you are sauteing them in order not to overcook them.
- Then transfer the sauteed veal into a nearby dish. Cover them with a sheet of foil wrap to keep them warm.
- Continue with the rest of the veal until all of them are sauteed and done.
- NEXT, Deglaze the pan. Pour in the white wine and simmer on low heat while you stir the remaining bits on the bottom of the pan.
- RETURN all the veal back into the skillet. Add in the lemon juice, and remaining butter and stir until it's heated through. Optional: pour in the chicken broth for more flavor and additional sauce. Toss in a few more capers on top. (And, here is where you can add more butter and lemon juice to your preference).
- Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for about 2 minutes. Turn off heat.
- Transfer the veal to a serving platter and pour the remaining warm lemon-buttery sauce over the veal, and toss a few more capers over them.
- Garnish with some lemon slices on the side and serve immediately.
