Marinated Veal Steaks Recipe

By: Andrea Alden

Originally made in 2013, these Marinated Veal Steaks are fresh and tangy with a beautiful crunchy sear. Veal isn’t for everyone due to availability and price so beef can be substituted if unavailable. The marinade itself sounds strange. I, for one, wouldn’t think to pair lime and mustard to marinate, but the combination is at once zesty and savory, tempered by the earthiness of both the rosemary and veal itself.  Pair this main course with your favorite sides like roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

Ingredients

3

limes, juiced, one zested

2 tbsp.

chopped fresh rosemary

2 tbsp.

dijon mustard

4

cloves of garlic, minced

¼ cup

olive oil

4

bone in veal chops, or steaks

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

 

SAUCE

2

limes

2

cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp.

dijon mustard

2 tbsp.

olive oil

2 tbsp.

chopped fresh rosemary

salt and pepper to taste

Method
  1. Juice three limes, zesting one of them, into a nonreactive dish. Stir in the mustard, garlic, rosemary, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Coat the veal on both sides and place them into the fridge to marinate for 1 to 4 hours.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 2 tbsp. of olive oil and 2 tbsp. of chopped fresh rosemary. Warm gently over very low heat for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow the rosemary to steep in the oil for at least 60 minutes. This can be done while the veal is marinating.
  3. Preheat half of the grill to medium high, around 400°F.
  4. Carefully brush the grill with oil and remove the veal from the marinade. Grill the veal over direct heat until nice sear marks have formed on each side. Then move the veal to the off side of the grill to finish cooking for about 5 minutes or until an internal temperature of 145°F.
  5. For the sauce, whisk together the lime juice, mustard, and garlic. Whisk in the rosemary oil, heating until warm, but do not bring to a boil or simmer.
  6. Serve the veal with your favorite sides like roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
