Grilled Lemon Tarragon Veal Chops Recipes

GRILLED VEAL CHOPS WITH LEMON-MUSTARD-TARRAGON BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat coals in a grill until they are covered with ash (mesquite does magic with grilled meats). Season the veal chops with salt and pepper, then place on the grill and cook to desired doneness.
• While the chops are grilling, place the soft butter in a small mixing bowl. Add the other ingredients and incorporate them well with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (If making the herb butter far ahead, spoon onto a sheet of wax paper and form a log which can easily be divided later, then refrigerate.).
• When ready to serve, add a dollop of the herb butter atop each veal chop and serve immediately.

VEAL CHOPS WITH TARRAGON

Steps:

• Season veal with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon tarragon; dust lightly with flour. Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add veal and cook until light brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer veal to plate. Add wine, broth, lemon juice and remaining 1 teaspoon tarragon to skillet. Boil until juices are syrupy, scraping up any brown bits, about 5 minutes. Return veal and any collected juices to skillet and cook until just heated through, about 1 minute.

GRILLED LEMON-TARRAGON VEAL CHOPS

Steps:

• Cut 1 of the lemons into 8 crosswise slices.
• Grate enough zest from remaining lemon to yield 3/4 teaspoon, then squeeze 1 tablespoon juice.
• In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, oil, and chopped tarragon.
• Season the chops on both sides with salt and pepper, then brush with SOME of the lemon-tarragon mixture, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the mixture for the lemon slices.
• Let the chops stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, OR cover and refrigerate for up to 3 hours. (If refrigerated, remove from refrigerator for 30 minutes before grilling.).
• Prepare a CHARCOAL or GAS grill for DIRECT grilling over MEDIUM HIGH heat. Oil the grill rack.
• For CHARCOAL grill: Grill the chops over the hottest part of the fire.
• Or for GAS grill: Grill the chops, directly over the heat elements.
• For either grill type- grill until nicely charred and cooked to your liking, 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium rare. About 3 minutes before the veal is done, brush the lemon slices with the reserved 1 tablespoon lemon-tarragon mixture. Grill the lemon slices, turning once,until lightly charred and softened, 30 to 60 seconds per side.
• Serve the veal chops with the grilled lemon slices.
