Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces veal chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the veal chops dry with paper towels and place them in a shallow dish or on a plate.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, lemon zest, black pepper, kosher salt, and red pepper flakes.
Rub the herb mixture evenly over both sides of the veal chops, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the veal chops with plastic wrap and let them marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes to infuse flavor. If marinating longer, refrigerate for up to 2 hours and bring to room temperature before grilling.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the veal chops on the hot grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
Remove the veal chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain their juices.
Serve the grilled veal chops with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
