Vitello alla Pizzaiola is a timeless classic of Italian home cooking. It is a main course of tender meat, usually veal escalopes, cooked in a fragrant tomato sauce enriched with oregano, garlic, and in this version, black olives. It is a dish much loved by children for its simple and inviting taste, and it is perfect for the classic scarpetta (mopping up the sauce) with fresh bread.

Pour the oil into a large pan and heat over high heat. Add the slices and brown them until tender.
