Instructions

  1. Pat 1 pound veal scallopini dry and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt.

  2. Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

  3. Cook the veal in a single layer for approximately 2 minutes per side until browned; transfer to a plate and repeat with any remaining veal.

  4. Add 2 tablespoons capers to the pan and sizzle for about 30 seconds.

  5. Pour in 1/4 cup white wine, scrape up any browned bits, and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.

  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice, then swirl in 3 tablespoons butter to create the sauce; taste and add salt if necessary.

  7. Return all the veal to the pan to coat it in the sauce.

  8. Divide arugula among 4 plates, top with the sauced veal, and drizzle any remaining sauce over the servings.

  9. Serve immediately.
