Roast Caramelized Veal Loin Recipes

ROAST CARAMELIZED VEAL LOIN

Steps:

• Combine wine, juice of 1 orange, thyme, bay leaf, 1 tablespoons of the olive oil, the minced shallots, the garlic clove and the pepper together in a large dish. Place the roast in the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight, turning from time to time.
• The next day, remove from marinade and strain the marinating liquid.
• Place the marinating liquid in a pan and reduce by half over high heat. Add the honey and season with salt.
• Paint the veal with some of the reduced marinade.
• Heat the remaining oil in a casserole large enough to hold the roast. Brown the meat on all sides. Add the remaining marinade; put the casserole in a 450 degree oven, and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, covered. Baste frequently with the liquid.
• Peel the oranges and cut into segments. When the meat is cooked, remove it to a warm platter. Place the orange segments in the cooking liquid, and cook over low heat until they are warmed.
• Serve the carved veal on the platter, garnished with the warmed orange segments and coated with the cooking juices.

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.

• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, shallots, and fennel to same pot. Sauté until vegetables are golden brown, stirring frequently and scraping up browned bits, about 12 minutes. Add Vin Santo; boil 3 minutes. Return veal to pot, nestling into vegetables, and top with some of vegetables. Cover; roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of veal registers 165°F, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
