Description
A classic Roman dish whose name translates to 'jump in the mouth': tenderloin wrapped with sage, rolled in prosciutto, and pan-fried.
Ingredients
- Prosciutto 5 oz
- Veal Tenderloin 25 oz
- Sage 3 stalks
- Butter 5 oz
- Dry White Wine 10 fl oz
- Ground Black Pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 480°F. Tenderize the fillet pieces to a thickness of about one centimeter. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Wrap each cutlet with slices of prosciutto. If the pieces are quite large, you can cut them in half for easier handling. Place a few sage leaves on each one.
Step 3
In a deep skillet with a thick bottom, melt 3 tablespoons of butter until it starts to bubble.
Step 4
Sear the meat with the sage side down until golden brown.
Step 5
Gently flip over and cook for another minute.
Step 6
Place the meat in the oven for five minutes.
Step 7
Meanwhile, pour wine into the skillet where the tenderloin was cooked. Let it simmer over high heat until the volume of the wine is reduced by one-third.
Step 8
Keep stirring vigorously for a little longer to thicken the sauce with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Step 9
Remove the meat from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 10
Serve drizzled with sauce.
