Grilled Veal Chops, Tuscan Style
Veal is not cheap, so when you splurge, it better be good. I look at the best veal coming from the high-end Italian and French restaurants and then the best American steak and chop houses. My best memories are of Italian veal, so I share with you my favorite grilled veal chops recipe.Enjoy!🍷 Wine Pairing: A Red Blend, a good Merlot or bold Pinot Noir will pair nicely with these chops.
Grilled Veal Chops, Tuscan Style
4 Moody’s veal rib chops (14 oz and at least 1 inch thick)
2 T extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 T rosemary leaves
¼ C sage leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pre-heat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a medium size bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, sage and rosemary, set aside.
Season the chops with salt and pepper and generously drizzle with olive oil.
Grill the chops over medium high heat, turning once, about 5 to 6 minutes per side depending on thickness.
As the chops are close to being done, sauté the herb mixture in a small to medium fry pan, about 3 to 5 minutes. Don’t allow the garlic to burn.
Remove the chops when the internal temperature is 140°F to 145°F (for medium rare) and cover with foil and rest while the herbs are sautéing
When the chops are rested and the herbs are done, spoon the juices and herbs over the chops and serve.
