 Season the veal scallops with pepper,then dip them in flour and shake off
 excess.In a heavy skillet,melt margarine with olive oil over moderate
 heat.When foam subsides,add veal scallops four or five at a time,and saute
 them until golden brown. Transfer the veal scallops to a plate.Pour off
 most of the fat from the skillet,leaving a thin film on the bottom.Add 1/2
 cups beef stock and let boil briskly for a few minutes,stirring constantly.
 Scrape in any browned bits clinging to the bottom and sides of the pan.
 Return the veal to the skillet and arrange lemon slices on top. Cover
 skillet and simmer over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until veal is
 tender when pierced with a knife. Transfer scallops to a heated platter and
 surround with lemon slices. Add the 1/4 cup of remaining beef stock to the
 juices in the skillet and oil briskly until stock turns to a syrupy
 glaze.Add the lemon juice and cook,stirring,for 1 minute.Pour sauce over
 scallops. Serves 6.

 Note: Veal cubes (stewing meat) may be substituted. Pound as flat as
     possible. Follow directions above,but cooking time will be
     increased to 45 minutes to an hour over low heat or until
     tender.
