Veal Chops Portuguesa Recipes

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!
