1/3 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

5. Lightly oil grill pan and heat over high heat until just smoking.

6. While pan is heating, sprinkle veal with salt and pepper.
