Grilled veal chops are an elegant and flavorful dish perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. Veal is a tender and delicate meat that takes on the flavors of the marinade or seasoning you use. When grilled, veal chops develop a beautiful char that adds to their flavor and texture. Arugula and basil salad is a light and refreshing side dish that pairs perfectly with grilled veal chops. The peppery arugula and fragrant basil add a vibrant flavor to the dish, while the lemon vinaigrette dressing brightens up the flavors and ties everything together.

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH RAW SAUCE

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 33m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 vine ripe tomatoes, cut into 8 wedges, each wedge cut in 1/2
1/2 cup, 10 leaves, fresh basil leaves, torn
1 handful flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 bone-in rib veal chops about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick
1 pound fresh spinach, trimmed of thick stems and washed
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine the tomatoes, basil, parsley, red onion, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar and about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Allow the tomatoes to sit for 10 minutes so that the salt will leach out the juice of the tomatoes.
  • Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium high-high heat. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it, on a plate. Place chops on plate and turn in extra-virgin olive oil using tongs and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Once the grill pan or grill is screaming hot, add the chops and cook on the first side for 5 minutes. Resist the temptation to move the chops around, you want nice grill markings and a good crust on them. Before flipping the chops, reduce the heat to medium or move chops a little off to the side on an outdoor grill for more indirect heat. Flip and cook them on the second side for 7 to 8 minutes, remove the chops and let them rest covered with a tented piece of aluminum foil for about 5 minutes.
  • Once the chops are cooked and rested, add the spinach and olives to the tomatoes and toss to coat. Serve the salad on or alongside the chops and spoon out some of the tomato balsamic juice from the bottom of the salad bowl to top each chop.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For salad:
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 medium tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
1 small red onion, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise (1/2 cup)
10 ounces baby arugula (5 cups)
1 cup packed basil leaves, torn into pieces
For veal chops:
6 (3/4- to 1-inch-thick) bone-in rib veal chops (4 to 5 pounds; see cooks' note, below)
4 cups fine fresh bread crumbs (from 10 slices firm white sandwich bread)
2/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Start salad:
  • Whisk together oil, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper in a large bowl until combined, then stir in tomatoes and onion.
  • Make Veal:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Gently pound chops (avoiding bone) to 1/8 inch thick between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin.
  • Toast bread crumbs in a large 4-sided sheet pan in oven, stirring once or twice, until dry but not golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Stir crumbs together with cheese and 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper in a shallow bowl or pie plate. Sprinkle chops with 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper.
  • Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Put oil in another shallow bowl or pie plate. Dip each chop in oil, letting excess drip off, then dredge both sides of chop (and bone) in bread-crumb mixture, pressing gently to help crumbs adhere. Transfer to baking sheet.
  • Prepare a grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas).
  • Oil grill rack, then grill chops, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, until just cooked through and golden brown and grill marks appear, about 8 minutes total.
  • Finish salad:

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality veal chops: Look for chops that are pinkish in color with a fine grain and no marbling.
  • Marinate the chops: Marinating the chops in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
  • Cook the chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Use a meat thermometer: Cooking the chops to the right internal temperature is essential to ensure that they are safe to eat and still juicy.
  • Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.

Grilled veal chops are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. By following these tips, you can cook veal chops that are perfectly tender, juicy, and flavorful. Serve them with a simple salad or your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
