Pan-Fried Veal Chops with Lemon and Rosemary

Serves 6

Prep Time: 35 mins

• Six 12-ounce veal rib chops, cut 1 inch thick
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water

1. Rub the veal chops all over with the olive oil, chopped rosemary and black pepper. Let the chops stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
2. In a very large skillet, cook the butter over moderately high heat until it starts to brown, about 1 minute. Season the veal chops with salt. Add them to the skillet and pan-fry over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of one of the chops registers 125°, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chops to a serving platter.
3. Add the lemon juice and water to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Pour the pan sauce over the veal chops and serve at once.

Wine Recommendation:

Shiraz: The bold pepper and rosemary seasoning on the pan-fried veal chops will mirror similar notes in a Shiraz blend.
