Veal Scallopine with Asparagus

I didn’t use veal for this recipe. I used beef cutlets since we have a steer in the freezer to use up. I never know what to do with cutlets besides make chicken fried steak. This turned out fantastic to me and I’m happy to have a new alternative when it comes to using up cutlets!
