VEAL CHOPS WITH CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE AND MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add veal chops, and sear until golden, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and keep warm.
• Add the onion and garlic to the pan, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook, tossing occasionally, until they have released all of their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the wine, and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of pan with a wooden spoon, until the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the stock and cream, return chops to pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently 30 minutes. Continue cooking, uncovered, until meat is very tender and sauce has thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large saucepan of cold, salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer gently until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; pass potatoes through a potato ricer, and return to saucepan. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the milk, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and set aside until ready to serve.
• Pour warm sauce over the chops and mashed potatoes, and serve with greens on the side.

VEAL CHOP WITH PORTABELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil with butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chops until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Once browned, stir in mushrooms and cook for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and rosemary; cover, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in red wine, increase heat, and cook, uncovered, until sauce is reduced by half. Veal chops may be removed at any time to prevent over-cooking, then returned to the pan for the final minute.
• Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and serve.

PERFECT VEAL CHOP RECIPE (QUICK AND EASY)

Steps:

• Place the veal chops in a shallow dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then add minced rosemary and thyme.
• Rub the olive oil and seasoning onto all sides of the veal chops.
• Let the veal chops marinate sit at room temperature for 15-60 minutes before cooking. (Ideally let them marinate for 1 hour. DO NOT skip this step, or your veal chops won't be cooked evenly.)
• Place a large skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until hot. Add the remaining olive oil. Once hot, add smashed garlic and cook until the clove just turned brown. Discard the garlic.
• Increase the heat to high and then add the marinated veal chops to the pan (make sure the chops are at room temperature). Cook for about 2 minutes or until the undersides have turned golden brown.
• Flip the veal chops and cook the other side for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
• Add chicken broth to the pan. Once it starts to simmer, cover the pan with a lid and let the chops braise for 5- 8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer. (Refer to the notes for other doneness levels.)
• Remove the chops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm (Don't discard the juices in the pan). Let them rest for 5-10 minutes to let the juices retreat back into the meat.
• In the meantime, leave about 1/4 cup of the juices in the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high, and add wine, butter, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
• Pour the sauce over the chops. Serve and enjoy!
