Ingredients
- Veal chop
- 1, bone-in, about 1.5 inches thick
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs
- Lemon
- 1, sliced (for garnish and juice)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Generously season the veal chop on both sides with salt and black pepper.
- In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the seasoned veal chop to the skillet and sear it for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
- Once both sides are beautifully seared, add the minced garlic and rosemary sprigs to the skillet, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your preferred doneness (145°F for medium-rare).
- Remove the skillet from the oven, carefully transfer the veal chop to a cutting board, and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the veal chop, garnish with lemon slices, and serve immediately.
Tips
- For added flavor, marinate the veal chop in olive oil, garlic, and rosemary for a few hours before cooking.
- Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh arugula salad to complement the richness of the veal.
