GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wipe the veal chops dry with paper towels and place them on a platter. Squeeze lemon juice over the chops. Make a small incision between the flesh and bone of each one and insert a sliver or two of garlic. Sprinkle the remaining garlic over the chops, along with the rosemary leaves and olive oil. Set the chops aside to marinate at room temperature for one hour.
• Half an hour later, steam the potatoes until almost done. Preheat the grill.
• Season the chops with salt and pepper. Remove the potatoes from the steamer, season them with salt and pepper and put them on the grill. Grill them, turning occasionally until they are brown on all sides. Keep them warm (you can put them on the side of the grill while your chops are cooking if it is large enough).
• Grill the chops four to five minutes on each side, or until they are done to taste. Garnish them with rosemary leaves before serving.

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.

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.

VEAL CHOPS IN VINEGAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim the chops of any excess fat. If there is not much meat on the tail porton, cut the tails away. Otherwise attach them to the chops with toothpicks. Dry the chops.
• Heat oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chops in a single layer. Saute the chops over high heat until just seared. Remove from heat and keep warm.
• Add the vegetables to the skillet and cook, stirring, for about five minutes, until they are just tender. Stir in the vinegar, tomato paste and stock. Cook, stirring for several minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Return the chops to the skillet and baste with the sauce. Cover and cook to desired degree of doneness -about six minutes should be enough for medium.

VEAL CHOPS WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Place the veal chops in a large nonreactive pan. Whisk together 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the lemon juice. Stir in 10 coarsely chopped sage leaves. Pour the mixture over the chops, cover and refrigerate for several hours, turning the chops occasionally.
• When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200 degrees and place 2 large skillets over high heat. Remove the chops from the marinade and remove and discard any pieces of sage that may be clinging to them. Sprinkle each chop generously with salt and pepper. Divide the remaining 3 tablespoons oil between the pans. When the oil is very hot, place 2 chops in each pan and cook until well browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the other side is browned and the chops are cooked to the desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes, depending on their thickness. Place the chops on a platter, cover with foil and put them in the oven to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
• Pour the grease out of 1 pan and add the wine. Add 5 chopped sage leaves and place over medium heat. Cook, scraping the bottom of the pan, until the wine has reduced to about 1/4 of its original volume. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the veal chops to 4 plates and pour the sauce over them. Garnish each plate with a few whole sage leaves and serve immediately with potato galettes (see recipe) and pan-grilled scallions with sea salt (see recipe) if desired.

VEAL CHOP WITH PORTABELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil with butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chops until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Once browned, stir in mushrooms and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and rosemary; cover, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in red wine, increase heat, and cook, uncovered, until sauce is reduced by half. Veal chops may be removed at any time to prevent over-cooking, then returned to the pan for the final minute.
• Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and serve.

VEAL CHOPS BEAU SéJOUR

Steps:

• Lightly dredge the chops on all sides in flour. In a lidded skillet large enough to hold all 6 chops, heat the oil and 3 tablespoons of the butter. Brown the chops on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes total.
• Scatter the garlic cloves around the chops. Cut each bay leaf into 3 pieces. Place 1 piece on each chop. Add thyme, salt and pepper. Cook the chops, tightly covered, over moderate to low heat for about 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the natural sauce in the skillet is syrupy. Transfer the chops to a hot serving dish and keep warm. Leave the garlic and bay leaves in the skillet.
• Add the vinegar to the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until it has evaporated. Add the stock and ¼ cup water and reduce to your liking. Check the seasoning. Turn off the heat and swirl in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Pour the sauce over the chops and garnish each chop with 1 clove of garlic and 1 piece of bay leaf. Serve immediately.
