SAUTE THE VEAL: In a large skillet, melt the butter over MEDIUM HIGH heat. Add veal scallops to the pan. Don't overcrowd the pan. You want to fit as many veal scallops as you can without them touching. Saute each side until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. When done, remove them to a plate and set aside and keep warm.

MAKE THE SAUCE: In another large skillet, heat the olive oil over MEDIUM HIGH. When the oil is hot, add the yellow onions, green onions, garlic, bell pepper and celery and saute until soft. Add the bay leaf, herbs, tomatoes, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine. Stir in the beef stock and cook for about 5 minutes. Combine the cornstarch and water and stir it into the pan. This will thicken the mixture just a bit. Still using MEDIUM HIGH heat, cook the sauce until it reduces a bit to get a fuller flavor, about 5-10 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and season to taste with salt and pepper.

SERVE: Cover each plate with a generous amount of sauce. Place one of the veal scallops on top of the sauce and then a generous spoonful of grits beside the veal. Top with more sauce; sprinkle with chopped parsley; and serve.
