What's Another Way to Cook Sous Vide Recipes with Veal Chops?
If you're looking for another option to cook sous vide veal chops with a different flavor profile, try a lemon and herb approach.
- Marinate the veal chops with a zesty lemon marinade, then sous vide them to make them tender.
- After sous vide, roast the flavorful chops briefly to add much flavor and create a golden crust. The result will be cuts of meat with a delightful citrusy twist, and the grilled chops look visually appealing.
- Estimate the cook time based on your desired level of doneness.
FAQ and Tips
Veal meat comes from special-fed or milk-fed veal calves that have been raised to about 22 weeks of age and about 500 pounds. These calves are raised in group pens where they can walk around, stand up, lay down, turn around and groom themselves. I like to think of it as a playpen for calves.
The light meat results from the age of the calf and the level of myoglobin (iron content) in the muscle. Myoglobin produces a red pigment that affects the color of the meat. To keep the meat light, without harming calf health, the amount of iron a calf receives is controlled through a nutritionally balanced milk-based diet and monitored on a regular basis.
