Made this tonight with a few additions. Salt & pepper the veal before searing it. After browning, I lowered the heat & it took 12 minutes to finish cooking to 145°. Added sliced mushrooms to the pan, then the pancetta & garlic. Once that cooked off, added a splash of Marsala & let it cook off before adding the spinach. Delicious, quick & easy!
