Veal Rib Chops

This is a sponsored post on behalf of the veal made easy.  I was contacted and asked if I would be interested in doing a post on veal.  It took me all of one second to say yes.  I love veal chops.  I am not sure why but so many people rarely have veal and, it seems to me, even more rarely order veal when dining out.  I find that a veal chop has so much flavor.  If I have a steak, I always order one of the more tender cuts because I do not like tough meats. Veal rib chops are always super tender.

Veal rib chops have so much flavor and it is prepared very simply.  I should point out that a veal rib chop is different than a veal chop.  So check with the butcher when buying a cut of veal to be sure what you are getting.  This particular cut is the most tender cut of veal. 

As an aside, I learned an important lesson at the grocery store.  I wanted to have my veal rib chops French cut.  That is where the end part of the bone is scraped clean.  I think that is such a good look for any big chop.  Problem is that I asked the guy behind the meat counter to do this for me thinking, they had a better knife than me to accomplish this cut.  They certainly had a better knife. However, the young guy behind the counter, I learned, did not know what a French cut is.  Instead, he cut the end of the bone off.  It did not affect the chop. It was not the look that I was looking for.

Returning to the simple preparation of the veal rib chop, after the salt and pepper, the chop was placed on my outdoor grill.  If you want other ideas for veal made easy, check out this link for other ideas.  Approximately 4 – 5 minutes per side on medium high heat and the chop was cooked to a nice medium rare.  Be sure to let the chop rest for a few minutes before cutting into to it so the juices can redistribute into the meat.

I rounded out this meal with a mushroom zucchini noodle pasta and some organic rainbow carrots.  I hope you agree that this is a meal you could find at a very nice restaurant.  So if you have not tried veal lately, or have never tried veal, treat yourself this summer to a grilled veal rib chop and you will not be disappointed.
