Steps:
1

Heat a large non-stick skillet with oil over high heat. Lightly flour each veal leg steak, season with salt and pepper. Add the veal in batches and sear on both sides until just cooked, about 2 minutes total. Set cooked meat aside on a clean plate. When all the meat is seared, reduce the heat to medium. Add the tikka masala sauce and any juices from the veal. Add the veal and cook until heated through.
