Best Veal Loin With Sicilian Blood Orange Sauce Recipes

VEAL LOIN WITH SICILIAN BLOOD ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove all the fat and sinew from the veal loin and reserve them. Rub the loin with oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a saute pan over medium high heat. Add the veal loin and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the loin from the pan.
• Place fat and trimmings in the bottom of a roasting pan and set the loin on top. Roast for 45 minutes. The roast should still be pink inside, not well done. Transfer it to a warm platter.
• While the meat is roasting, peel the skins of the oranges and lemons, and cut into julienne. Place in a small saucepan with the sugar and enough water to cover. Boil until the sugar begins to caramelize. Pour the julienne into a strainer and rinse briefly under water. Set aside.
• Squeeze the juice from the oranges. Remove fat and trimmings from the roasting pan and pour off any fat that has accumulated. Deglaze with the port and add the veal stock and orange juice. Simmer 15 minutes, strain, and reduce until only 1 cup remains. Whisk in the butter, 1 piece at a time, to slightly thicken the sauce. Reserve and keep warm.
• Place a slice of the roast on a warm plate. Cover with sauce and sprinkle with the julienne of orange and lemon peels. Serve immediately.

VEAL WITH ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to a moderate temperature.
• Squeeze the orange juice, and set aside.
• Grate a teaspoon of orange rind, and set aside.
• Dip the slices of veal in flour, then sauté until lightly browned on both sides.
• Transfer the veal to an ovenproof casserole dish, and set aside.
• Pour the orange juice and wine into the still-hot sauté pan.
• Let the orange juice and wine bubble for one minute.
• Add the soy sauce and orange zest, then pour the orange/wine sauce over the veal.
• Cover with foil and cook for 30 minutes.
• Remove the foil, add some freshly chopped chives and serve.

ROAST LOIN OF VEAL WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the carrots, parsnips and leeks in a roasting pan and toss with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Place the veal over the vegetables. Season the meat with 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons of thyme and set aside, so the meat can come to room temperature while you assemble the gratin (see recipe below).
• Place the roast in the oven and cook until barely pink in the center, about 1 hour.
• Carefully remove the veal and the vegetables from the pan and tent with foil to keep warm. For the veal sauce, place the pan over medium-high heat and pour in the sherry and broth. Cook, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and whisk until just combined. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut the veal across into 1/2-inch thick slices. Divide the vegetables among 4 plates. Top with 2 slices of veal each and the sauce. Garnish with the remaining thyme. Serve immediately with the potato gratin (below).

ROASTED LOIN OF VEAL WITH GARLIC, SHALLOTS, AND MUSTARD GRAVY

Steps:

• Season the veal and salt and pepper, spread the mustard over the top and sides, and cover the veal with the fatback. Arrange the veal, the garlic, and the shallot in a roasting pan just large enough to hold them, add the wine, and roast the veal in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven, basting every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Discard the fatback and roast the veal for 15 to 20 minutes more, or until it registers 150°F. on a meat thermometer. Transfer the veal to a cutting board and let it stand, covered loosely with foil, for 15 minutes. Transfer the garlic and the shallots with a slotted spoon to a bowl, toss them with 2 teaspoons of the chopped tarragon, and keep them warm, covered with foil.
• While the veal is standing, skim the fat from the pan juices, add the water, and deglaze the pan over high heat, scraping up the brown bits, until the mixture is reduced by half. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl and season the gravy with salt and pepper. Cut the veal into 1/2-inch-thick slices, arrange the slices on a platter, and scatter the garlic and the shallots around them. Nap the veal with some of the gravy, sprinkle it with the remaining 1 teaspoon chopped tarragon, and garnish the platter with the tarragon strips. Serve the remaining gravy separately.
