Ingredients

  • 4 Famille Fontaine aged veal rib chops, 1½ -inch thick
  • Kosher salt

Board sauce

  • 60 ml (1 /4 cup) olive oil
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 30 ml (2 tablespoons) Italian parsley, finely chopped
  • 15 ml (1 tablespoon) rosemary leaves, finely chopped
  • 15 ml (1 tablespoon) thyme leaves, finely chopped
  • For Serving, Malden salt, zest & juice of 1 lemon

Preparation

  1. Prepare the Veal Chops
    Pat the veal chops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and let sit on a rack, for 30-60 minutes. Before grilling, pat away moisture, rub with olive oil, season with freshly ground pepper.
  2. Preheat the Grill
    Set your gas grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F to 475°F). For charcoal grills, light the charcoal, let it burn until covered with white ash, then spread the coals over half the grill.
  3. Sear the Chops
    Place the veal chops on the hot grill and sear for 2-3 minutes/side, undisturbed, until sear marks form. Not moving the chops too soon, allows a good sear to develop.
  4. Cook Over Indirect Heat
    After searing, move the chops to an indirect heat zone of the grill. Close the lid and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 133°F for medium-rare. Use an instant read thermometer.
  5. Make the Board Sauce
    Add the fresh herbs, garlic and olive oil to a cutting board with a juice groove and mix to combine.
  6. Rest the Chops
    Transfer the veal chops to the cutting board and rest the chops in the board sauce, turning the chops a few times. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
    Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring moist and tender chops.
  7. Before serving, finish with a sprinkle of Maldon salt, a squeeze of lemon juice & lemon zest. Enjoy!
