Instructions

Step 1

Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Season veal with salt and pepper. Working in batches and adding more oil as needed, cook veal, flipping once, until browned and cooked to desired doneness, 4–6 minutes for medium. Transfer veal to a serving platter; keep warm.

Step 2

Add remaining oil to pan. Add chile flakes, garlic, and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 6–8 minutes. Add wine; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan, until reduced by half, 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, bay leaf, and salt. Cook until tomatoes begin to break down, 3–5 minutes. Stir in parsley, oregano, lemon juice, olives, and peppers; spoon sauce over veal.
