PAN SEARED AND ROASTED VEAL CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. Rinse chops and pat dry. Rub both sides with garlic, rosemary and 2 tbsp olive oil. Leave out for 15 minutes so that chops come to room temperature.
• 2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a heavy, oven proof skillet. Sear chops on both sides (approximately 3 minutes per side) over medium high heat.Place skillet with chops in oven for approximately 10 minutes. Chops should reach an internal temperature of 145.
• 3. Remove skillet from oven. Place chops on a warm platter. Squeeze juice of one lemon over chops. If desired, add a pat of Lemon Parsley Butter to the top of each chop. Cover with foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Chops will continue to cook while resting.
• 4. While chops are resting, combine bouillon cube with 1/4 cup boiling water. Return skillet to stovetop over medium high heat. Add water and wine. Cook, scraping frequently, until sauce is reduced by half. Add salt and pepper to taste.

• 6. Optional Brining Instructions:For brine optional brine: combine 8 cups boiling water, 2/3 cup sugar and 3/4 cup kosher salt. Stir until salt dissolves. Let come to room temperature (I put mine in the fridge or even the freezer if in a hurry). Immerse chops in room temperature brine, placing a plate on top to make sure they are completely immersed. Refrigerate. Brine for 90 minutes.

PAN ROASTED VEAL CHOPS

Steps:

• Remove chops from the refrigerator about an hour before cooking to let them come up to room temperature. Pat them dry.
• Slice and thoroughly wash the leeks. They grow in very sandy soil, and sand and dirt can get trapped in all the layers of leaves, so make sure to rinse them several times.
• Roughly chop the leeks.
• Mince shallot and thyme.
• Pre-heat the oven to 450°F.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy bottomed sauce pan and sweat the shallot and leeks over low heat covered for approx. 10-12 minutes. They should be very soft and translucent but not take on any color.
• Turn the heat up to medium, and add the veal/beef stock. Simmer uncovered for 3-4 minutes, then re-cover and set aside. The leek/shallot mixture should be moist but not swimming in stock at this point.
• Meanwhile, heat your oven proof pan over medium-high heat for three or four minutes.
• Add the canola oil and heat until the oil shimmers.
• Season the veal chops with salt and pepper and cook over med-high heat for approx. 3 minutes until browned.
• Flip the chops over and cook for another minute, then slide the oven proof pan into the hot oven for 6-9 minutes, depending on how you like your meat done. (See my meat doneness chart)
• While the chops are roasting in the oven, add the thyme to the shallot and leeks, season to taste with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat to warm up.
• To serve, spoon half the onion/leek mixture onto each plate, then set the veal chops on top of the mixture and serve.

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.
