- 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil
- 1 tsp (5 mL) red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground pepper
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup (250 mL) arugula
Directions
- Preheat grill to medium heat; grease grate well.
- Toss veal with 2 tbsp (30 mL) oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Grill for 1 or 2 minutes per side or until grill-marked and just cooked through.
- Top each slice of bread with 1 slice of provolone and grilled veal.
- Grill sandwiches for 1 minute or until bread is grill-marked on the bottom.

- Place sandwiches on side with no heat; close lid and cook over indirect heat until cheese melts.

Tip: When tossing veal with oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper, add 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh basil, 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried oregano or 1/4 tsp (1 mL) crushed fennel seeds if desired.
Use leftover veal cutlets or prepared veal cutlets for an even easier-to-make sandwich.
Spread sun-dried tomato pesto overslices of bread before layering cheese and veal over top if desired.
