Grilled Veal Steak Fajitas
Marinade:
· 2 teaspoons chipotle or ancho chili powder
· 2 teaspoons ground cumin
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
· 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
· 1/4 cup olive oil
juice of 2 limes
Ingredients:
· 1 pound veal steaks, at least · 1/2 inch thick
· 3 bell peppers of various colors (I used 1 red, 1 green, · 1/2 yellow and 1/2 orange)
· 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
· salt and pepper to taste
For Serving:
· warm flour tortillas
· guacamole
· sour cream
· salsa
· chopped cilantro
Instructions
1. Whisk together the marinade ingredients. Place the veal steaks in a ziplock bag and pour in the marinade, massaging the steaks to evenly distribute the marinade. Marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight. Reserve the marinade.
2. Heat the grill and place a cast iron skillet for the vegetables on the opposite side of the grill over indirect heat to begin warming. Place the steaks over high, direct heat and briefly sear on both sides for 1-2 minutes (depending on thickness of cut), turning at a 45-degree angle to create grill marks. You can use an instant read thermometer for doneness: For medium-rare it’s 115-120°F., for medium it’s 125-130°F. Transfer the steaks to a plate and tent with aluminum foil for 10 minutes while you cook the vegetables.
3. Using a grilling mitt, move the cast iron skillet over direct high heat. Add some oil, add the vegetables and sear them, stirring every 90 seconds or so for 5-6 minutes total or until very lightly charred and so they’re still a little crisp. Add salt, pepper, cilantro and pour in the reserved marinade. Stir to combine and cook for another minute or two. Remove from heat.
4. Slice the steaks across the grain. Arrange the steak strips and the vegetables on cast iron serving platters with some lime wedges and garnish with fresh cilantro.
5. To assemble the fajitas, place some steak on the warmed tortillas followed by your toppings of choice. Serve immediately.

Milanese Philly Cheesesteak
· 2 thin slices veal (1/4 inch thick, often called "veal for scaloppini") to fit the size of the hoagie roll, or use more if they're small (can substitute pork or chicken, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness) .
· 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
· 1 large egg, lightly beaten
· 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
· 1 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
· 1/2 red bell pepper, stems and seeds discarded, thinly sliced
· 1/2 green bell pepper, stems and seeds discarded, thinly sliced
· 1/2 yellow bell pepper, stems and seeds discarded, thinly sliced
· 4 ounces button or cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
· 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
· 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
· 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
· 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
· 4 slices provolone or swiss cheese
· mayonnaise
· grainy mustard (optional)
· 4 crusty hoagie rolls, lightly toasted
Instructions
1. Place the flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs in their own separate shallow bowl. Lightly salt and pepper the veal cutlets. Dip the cutlets into the flour followed by the egg and the breadcrumbs, shaking off any excess. With each step make sure the cutlet is evenly coated. Do not press the breadcrumbs into the meat and do not refrigerate or the coating will become soggy. Fry immediately.
2. Heat some oil in a small frying pan until about 330 degrees F (see Note). Once hot, add the cutlets and fry briefly on each side until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate and keep warm in the oven but do not tent with aluminum foil or the trapped steam will make the crust soggy.
3. Fry the onions in the same oil (first discarding excess oil as necessary) until lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Add the bell peppers, the mushrooms, the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper and fry until the peppers are crisp-tender, 4-5 minutes.
4. Divide the mixture in half in the pan and place the sliced cheese on top to melt.
5. Spread each side of the hoagie rolls with some mayonnaise and mustard. Place the fried cutlets on each roll and top with the vegetables. Serve immediately.
Notes: An important key to achieving a crispy crust is to make sure the oil is hot enough – but not too hot. You don’t want the coating to burn before the meat is done. Conversely, if the oil isn’t hot enough the coating will be on the soggy side because more oil will penetrate the crust. Having the oil the right temperature will result in a drier, less oily, crispier crust and a meat interior that is tender and juicy. The oil should be around 330ºF.
Hungarian Meatballs
For the Meatballs
· 1 pound ground veal
· 1 egg
· 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
· 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
· 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
· 1 teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika
· 2 tablespoons oil for frying
For the Sauce
· 1 tablespoon oil
· 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
· 1 clove garlic, minced
· 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
· 3 tablespoons butter
· 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
· 2 cups beef broth
· 1 cup cream or milk
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
· 2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
· 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill
· 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions:
1. Place all the meatball ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and knead to thoroughly combine. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls or whatever size you prefer.
2. Heat some oil in a skillet and once hot add the meatballs, browning on all sides. Transfer the meatballs to a plate and discard all but a tablespoon or so of grease.
3. Add the onions to the skillet and fry until translucent and golden brown. Add the garlic and fry for another minute (don’t fry garlic too long or it becomes bitter). Add the mushrooms and fry until they’ve released their juices and they’re mostly evaporated. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a bowl and set aside.
4. Add the butter to the skillet and melt it. Add the flour and whisk until dissolved. Continue whisking vigorously for another minute or two until the flour mixture is a deep golden brown. (We’re creating what’s called a roux, a French term and the grand secret for creating an irresistibly rich and flavorful sauce.)
5. Pour in the hot broth while continually whisking to prevent clumping. Continue to whisk while bringing the mixture to a simmer. Add the cream and whisk until combined. Continue to simmer for another minute or so until the sauce is thickened. Return the mushroom mixture to the sauce and add the pepper, salt and paprika. Stir in the sour cream and dill.
6. Return the meatballs to the sauce, stirring to coat them, and simmer covered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Serve immediately over hot buttered egg noodles, Spätzle, potatoes or rice along with a cool cucumber or leafy green salad and some rustic crusty bread. Garnish with some chopped fresh dill if desired.
