Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 medium Shallot, finely minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup White wine
- 0.5 cup Chicken or veal stock
- 2 tablespoons Whole grain mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
1. Pat the veal chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the veal chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced shallot and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
4. Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the wine reduces by half.
5. Stir in the chicken or veal stock, whole grain mustard, and honey. Add the fresh thyme leaves and stir to combine.
6. Return the seared veal chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the veal chops are cooked to your desired doneness (145°F/63°C for medium-rare).
7. Remove the veal chops to a serving plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, continue to simmer the sauce for 2-3 more minutes until slightly thickened.
8. Drizzle the sauce over the rested veal chops and serve immediately. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
