When the pan is smoking hot, add the onions, shallots and garlic.
Saute the vegetables for 1 minute. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the rice, saute for 1 minute. While stirring constantly, add the veal reduction, wine, Marsala, and meat stock, one cup at a time.

Remove the round from the grill and slice on the bias into 2-ounce portions. To assemble, mound the risotto in the center of the platter. Fan the meat around the risotto. Garnish with the brunoised peppers, grilled green onion, and with a peeler, cut off thin slices of the cheese over the top of the risotto.
