Instructions

Prepare the veal chops

Season the veal chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Pro tip: Resting allows even cooking and better searing.

Sear the veal chops

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add veal chops and sear for 5 minutes per side or until golden brown.

Pro tip: Searing locks in the juices, creating a flavourful crust.

Transfer to the oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check doneness.

Make the mustard sauce

In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallot and sauté until translucent. Pour in wine and simmer until reduced by half.

Pro tip: Deglazing the pan with wine enhances the sauce's depth.

Finish the sauce

Stir in cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Pro tip: Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Remove veal chops from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with mustard sauce drizzled over the top.

Pro tip: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a touch of colour.

Serve veal chops with mustard sauce alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the richness of the sauce. A crisp white wine, such as a Chardonnay, pairs beautifully with this dish.
