Best Double Cut Veal Chops With Aromatic Pan Sauce Recipes

DOUBLE CUT VEAL CHOP SALTIMBOCA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on high heat.
• Heat the olive oil in a small sauce pot over medium-high heat. While the oil is heating prepare a plate lined with paper towels and set aside. When the oil is hot but not quite smoking add the sage leaves, stand back as they will crackle and pop. When the leaves are fried crisp remove to the paper towel using a mesh skimmer, set aside to cool. Line a cookie sheet with plastic wrap and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Using a small paring knife cut a slit in the veal chop, between the bones, but on the meat side. Using your fingers make a pocket in the veal and transfer to the plastic lined tray. On a large plate or clean cutting board lay down the fontina slices, top each with 2 slices of prosciutto and 3 to 4 sage leaves.
• Roll the fontina slice up with all the ingredients inside making a small package. Using 1 hand, open up the pocket in the veal chop while stuffing the cheese and prosciutto package inside with the other hand. Brush the chops with the olive oil and season generously with gray salt and black pepper. Grill the chops over high heat for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side until nicely marked and move to indirect heat for about 8 to 10 more minutes or until desired doneness.

PAN-ROASTED VEAL CHOPS WITH ARUGULA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Pat veal chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet (see cooks' note, below) over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear chops until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer skillet to middle of oven and roast chops until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into a chop registers 155°F (do not touch bone), 10 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness).
• While chops are roasting, mash garlic to a paste with salt using a mortar and pestle (or mince and mash with a large heavy knife), then transfer half of paste to a bowl and whisk in 1/2 tablespoon vinegar, remaining tablespoon oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer chops to a plate and keep warm. Add shallot and remaining garlic paste to skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add wine and remaining tablespoon vinegar and boil, scraping up brown bits, until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 4 minutes. Add broth and rosemary and boil until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, swirling skillet to incorporate, then stir in any veal juices accumulated on plate. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add arugula to dressing and toss to coat. Serve chops with sauce and arugula.

VEAL CHOPS WITH ROQUEFORT BUTTER

Steps:

• Place the butter and Roquefort cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until smooth. Add the scallions and mix until combined. Cut a strip of parchment paper 4 1/2 inches wide and place the mixture on the short end of the paper. Roll into a log about 1 inch in diameter, rolling the parchment paper around the butter mixture. Chill.
• Sprinkle both sides of the veal chops generously with salt and pepper. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals. When the coals are hot, grill the chops for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until almost cooked through. Remove to a platter and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Serve with 1 or 2 slices of cold Roquefort butter on each chop.

VEAL CHOPS WITH ROSEMARY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat up a saute pan and spray with non-stick olive oil spray (or use 1 tbsp olive oil). Place chops in pan and sear on each side about 3-4 minutes each. Chops will not be cooked through.
• Remove chops from skillet and add the wine to deglaze. When wine is reduced by half add cream, rosemary and nutmeg and bring to a boil.
• Put chops back in skillet and continue to cook until the cream is reduced by about half. Salt and pepper to taste.

VEAL CHOPS IN CHERRY-PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Drain the cherry peppers, reserving 1 cup brine, then stem, halve, core and seed them. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the olive oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the garlic, and sauté, stirring frequently, until it begins to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peppers, the reserved brine and the white wine, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the liquid has reduced by slightly more than half, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. (The sauce can be made a few hours ahead of time.)
• When you're ready to cook the meat, season it aggressively with salt and pepper. Place a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, and swirl the neutral oil into it. When the oil begins to shimmer, place the meat in the pan, working in batches if needed, and sear until the meat has browned, formed something of a crust and cooked through to medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer the chops to a warmed platter.
• Add the sauce to the large, heavy-bottomed skillet in which you seared the meat, and warm over medium-low heat. Whisk the butter into the sauce until evenly distributed and the sauce develops a velvety sheen. Spoon sauce over chops, and garnish with parsley.

ROASTED DOUBLE VEAL CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cook pancetta in 1 tablespoon oil over moderately low heat in a large heavy skillet, stirring occasionally, until browned and fat is rendered. Transfer pancetta to paper towels to drain, reserving fat in skillet.
• 3Pat chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Increase heat under skillet to moderately high, then brown chops in fat on all sides, adding more oil if necessary. Transfer chops to a small flameproof roasting pan, bone sides down, and set skillet aside.
• Roast chops in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted 2 inches into center of meat (without touching bone) registers 135°F for medium, about 1 hour. Transfer chops to a cutting board and let stand, covered loosely with foil, 15 minutes (internal temperature will rise to about 140°F).
• Discard all but about 1 tablespoon fat from skillet. Heat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook garlic, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add wine to skillet and deglaze by boiling over high heat, scraping up brown bits. Add stock and boil until mixture is reduced to about 3/4 cup.
• Finish sauce while chops are standing:
• Deglaze roasting pan with wine mixture. Transfer to a small saucepan and skim off any fat. Reheat and swirl in butter, parsley, and thyme. Stir in any juices accumulated on cutting board, pancetta, and pepper to taste.
• With chops on their sides, cut parallel to bones into thin slices, then serve with sauce.

PAN SEARED VEAL CHOP WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Rub the chops with the garlic and rosemary, 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper and let sit on a plate for 15 minutes. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat and add remaining oil. Add chops to pan and cook until golden brown and then flip. Remove chops from pan to a baking dish and roast in 375 degrees F. oven for 10 minutes. Add wine and stock to cast iron pan and stir up brown bits from bottom. Serve chops with juice from pan.

DOUBLE-CUT VEAL CHOPS WITH AROMATIC PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy large pot over high heat. Add veal and brown on all sides, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer veal to plate. Add onion, carrot, bay leaf, thyme, and garlic to pot. Reduce heat to medium-high; sauté until vegetables just soften, about 5 minutes. Place chops on vegetables; add any juices from plate, then stock. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Turn chops over. Cover and cook to desired doneness, about 25 minutes longer for medium-rare (145°F to 150°F). Place veal on plate; tent with oil.
• Spoon fat off top of veal-braising liquid. Press liquid and solids through strainer set over bowl to make puree; return puree to pot. Bring to boil. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Simmer until sauce coats spoon lightly, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Cut veal chops horizontally in half. Set on plates. Spoon sauce over and serve.
