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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Have a bowl filled with ice water ready. Trim the tough outer leaves and base from the artichokes. Place them in boiling water for about 10 minutes, until tender. Remove from the water and place them in bowl of ice water. Cut artichokes in 1/4 or 1/8ths and set aside.
- Place pearl onions in boiling water and blanch them for 3 minutes. Refresh them in ice water and set aside. Put shelled fava beans in boiling water for 1 minute. Remove them from boiling water and place them in ice water. Slip skins off the fava beans and set aside.
- Place shelled English peas in boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove them from boiling water and place them in ice water. When cold, remove from water and set aside. Repeat the blanching method for the asparagus, carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash. Remember to just blanch them until tender.
- Place scrubbed fingerling potatoes on baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil. Place in oven and roast for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. The potatoes should still be quite firm. Cut them into 1/2-inch dice and set aside.
- Roast the Veal: Place a 12-inch, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Season the veal chop on both sides with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to the pan and heat. Place the veal in the pan and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Turn the chop over and continue cooking on the other side for 4 more minutes. The meat should be well browned.
- Add mushrooms, artichokes, potatoes, roasted garlic, and pearl onions to the pan. Place the thyme and sage sprigs on top of the veal and place in the preheated oven. Roast the veal and vegetables for 12 minutes. Using a kitchen towel or oven mitt, remove the pan from the oven. Remove the veal from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Allow the veal to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Prepare the Sauce: Place the pan with the vegetables over high heat and saute the vegetables that were cooked with the veal for 1 minute. Add the Madeira and the stock. Reduce by 1/2 and add the peas, fava beans, asparagus, carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash. Add the butter (cut in small pieces) to the pan. Swirl the pan to incorporate the butter. Spoon the vegetables and sauce onto 2 warm dinner plates. Slice the veal and lay it over the vegetables. Serve and enjoy.
PAN-ROASTED VEAL CHOPS WITH ARUGULA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Pat veal chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet (see cooks' note, below) over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear chops until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. 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.
- Transfer chops to a plate and keep warm. Add shallot and remaining garlic paste to skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add wine and remaining tablespoon vinegar and boil, scraping up brown bits, until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 4 minutes. Add broth and rosemary and boil until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, swirling skillet to incorporate, then stir in any veal juices accumulated on plate. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add arugula to dressing and toss to coat. Serve chops with sauce and arugula.
PAN-SEARED VEAL STEAKS WITH GREEN PEPPERCORNS
Green peppercorns grow on the same vine as the black peppercorns you use in your pepper mill. The difference is the green ones are picked young, while the black have been allowed to mature and dry. Though they are occasionally available still fresh on the branch, flown in directly from Southeast Asia, green peppercorns are always available preserved in brine or freeze-dried. This classic French recipe employs them in a deliciously pungent sauce for veal steaks, though boneless pork loin chops or chicken breasts can stand in nicely.

Steps:
- Put veal steaks on a platter and season on both sides with salt. Sprinkle with lemon zest, garlic and thyme sprigs and set aside for an hour (or refrigerate for up to 3 hours, then bring to room temperature). Just before cooking, scrape aromatics from steaks and dust lightly on both sides with flour.
- Put olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add veal steaks and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes, then turn and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove and keep warm. Wipe skillet clean, then add butter and diced shallot. Season lightly with salt and cook, stirring, until shallot is soft and beginning to color, about 3 minutes.
- Turn heat to high, add peppercorns and cook for 1 minute. Add stock and simmer until reduced by nearly half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add crème fraîche and brandy and stir to incorporate. Return veal to pan and continue simmering until sauce thickens a bit, about 2 minutes more.
- Distribute steaks among 4 warmed plates. Spoon sauce over steaks, sprinkle with parsley and crispy shallot, if using, and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality veal chops: Look for chops that are evenly thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the chops are tender and flavorful.
- Season the chops generously: Season the chops with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Sear the chops in a hot skillet: Sear the chops in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the chops and help to seal in the juices.
- Roast the chops in a preheated oven: After searing the chops, transfer them to a preheated oven and roast until they are cooked to your desired doneness. This will help to ensure that the chops are cooked evenly throughout.
- Let the chops rest before serving: Allow the chops to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Pan-seared and roasted veal chops are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your veal chops are cooked to perfection. Serve the chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad. Enjoy!
