Excellent Little Veal Loin Chops

Veal loin chops are one of those things that I just don't do often enough. Not sure why. They're fairly easy to get, every bit as tender and juicy as a good steak (well, close anyway) and they show up exceedingly well with a little simple sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 to 3/4 pound Crimini mushrooms

  • 4 veal rib chops

  • 1 tsp. sea salt

  • 3/4 tsp. cracked black pepper

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3/4 cup red wine

  • 1/2 cup beef or veal broth or stock

  • 2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. butter

Directions

In a pan using just a little oil, cook the mushrooms until they're just barely cooked, usually about five to six minutes or so. Remove and set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper and add to pan. Cook until well browned, about 4 minutes per side.

Lower heat to low, cover pan and continue to cook until veal just reaches desired doneness, about 6 minutes more. Remove veal from pan, cover, and set aside.

Return skillet to medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about a minute. Add wine, broth and thyme. Cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until liquid is reduced to about a cup.

Quickly add the mushrooms and cook for about 1-3 minutes more.

Remove skillet from heat and whisk in butter 1 chunk at a time. Serve the sauce over the veal and garnish with remaining thyme.
