Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal medallions (about 1 inch thick)
- 4 slices Prosciutto slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Begin by patting the veal medallions dry with paper towels to ensure proper browning during cooking.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, fresh rosemary, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Rub the marinade over each veal medallion, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Let the veal sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Wrap each veal medallion tightly with a slice of prosciutto. Press gently to secure the prosciutto in place; the natural texture of the meat will help it adhere.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Brush the grill grates with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Place the prosciutto-wrapped veal medallions on the hot grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes on the first side without moving them, allowing the prosciutto to crisp and release from the grill.
Flip the medallions carefully and grill for an additional 4–5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature of the veal reaches 145°F for medium doneness.
Once cooked, remove the medallions from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the grilled prosciutto-wrapped veal immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top and your favorite sides.
