Herb Roasted Veal Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Split the loin of veal lengthwise without cutting it all the way through (butterfly cut). Spread the inside of the veal with the soft butter. Mix the salt and pepper and sprinkle half of it over the butter.
• Combine basil, parsley and sauteed shallots on a plate and roll the tenderloin in it until it is well coated with the herbs. Place tenderloin on the center of the loin of veal and sprinkle the remaining herbs evenly over the top.
• Wrap the loin around the tenderloin. Tie the roast with kitchen string and place in roasting pan. Sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Brush with the olive oil and roast for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
• Combine onions, carrots, celery and garlic, and place around veal roast. Roast veal and vegetables for an additional 25 minutes.
• While veal is roasting, drain the morels, saving the water in which they were soaked. Wash them well and set aside.
• Remove veal from pan, add white wine and heat on the stove for five minutes, stirring constantly.
• Pour the liquid and vegetables into a saucepan with the veal stock and the reserved liquid from the morels. Cook over high heat until reduced to about two cups, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Strain sauce through a fine sieve and set aside.
• In a saucepan, melt the ounce of cold butter and lightly saute the two chopped shallots. Add the morels and heavy cream, cooking until thickened. Add the reserved sauce base slowly, stirring to keep the mixture smooth. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix 2 tablespoons garlic, 2 tablespoons rosemary, 1 tablespoon thyme and lemon peel in bowl. Rub over veal. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover; chill overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in heavy 8 1/2- to 10-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add veal; brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Using tongs, transfer veal to roasting pan. Add ribs and ham hocks to pot; brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to same pan. Add sausage to pot; sauté until brown, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to same pan. Add onions and 1 tablespoon garlic to pot. Sauté over low heat 5 minutes. Add carrots, broth, wine, bay leaves, caraway, 1 tablespoon rosemary and 1 tablespoon thyme. Bring to boil. Return meats to pot. Cover; bake until veal is tender, about 2 hours.
• Using slotted spoon, transfer meats and vegetables to large platter. Cut off string from veal. Slice veal; place on platter. Tent with foil. Boil juices in pot until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Spoon some juices over meat and vegetables. Serve, passing remaining juices separately.

Steps:

• Season the tournedos on both sides with the salt. Brush steaks with the mustard. Spread the pepper on a plate, coat steaks in pepper. Heat the oil in a heavy ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat and sear for 2 1/2 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Off the heat, sprinkle steaks with brandy. Return the pan to the heat, and flambe. (Depending upon the thickness of the meat, the cooking time of the steaks may vary.)
• Sauce au Poivre: Place the black pepper in a dry small saucepan and toast over medium-high heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the oil and stir to combine. Add the shallots and green peppercorns, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat, add the brandy, return to the heat to flambe, then simmer until reduced by three-quarters. Add the mustard and stir to combine, then add the veal reduction and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced by half, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the salt. Serve hot.
• Place 3 tournedos on each serving plate. Drizzle with the sauce and serve with the herb-roasted potatoes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the bones in a large roasting pan and toss with the oil. Roast, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and spread the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic over the bones. Smear the tomato paste over the vegetables and return the pan to the oven. Roast for another 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and pour off the fat from the pan.
• Transfer the bones and vegetables to a large stockpot. Do not discard the juices in the roasting pan. Add the water, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and peppercorns to the stockpot and bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, place the roasting pan over 2 burners on medium-high heat. Add the wine and stir with a heavy wooden spoon to deglaze and dislodge any browned bits clinging to the bottom of the pan. Add the contents to the stockpot. When the liquid returns to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 8 hours, skimming occasionally to remove any foam that rises to the surface.
• Ladle through a fine-mesh strainer into a large clean pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a gentle boil, and cook, uncovered, until reduced to 6 cups in volume, about 1 hour. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove any congealed fat from the surface of the stock. The stock can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen in airtight containers for up to 2 months.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to mix well. Transfer to a roasting pan and roast until the potatoes are fork tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Vaguely trim breast - just the fat globs on the rib cage and any especially skanky skin, if it even exists. If the blue U.S.D.A. ink stamp on the flesh offends you, remove it.
• Place breast in a deep roasting pan large enough to accommodate it, and season meat thoroughly and assertively with salt, all over, turning the breast ribs-side up as well, seasoning with salt all over. Do the same thing, less assertively by half, with ground black pepper. Set breast back in pan ribs-side down, and season the flesh side extremely conservatively with both ground juniper and ground allspice. A light hand here, please. Strip a few pinches of fresh thyme leaves from their stems, and scatter over the veal. Drizzle generously with the oil, allowing some to pool in roasting pan.
• Let the veal sit at room temperature to shake the chill from the refrigerator while you prepare the potatoes.
• Peel and cut into wedges 4 Yukon Gold potatoes, and scatter around in pan. Peel and halve the onion, and slice into 1/3-inch-thick half-moons. Scatter onion around in pan on top of potatoes. Keep potato and onion under the meat, not on top of it, so that breast can fully brown and get a crisp skin.
• Fill roasting pan 2 inches deep with water and white wine, in equal parts. Set in 275-degree oven, and let roast for up to 12 hours, depending on weight. Remove when it is deeply golden brown and soft and tender. You don't want it falling off the bone, but you should be able to see how loose and relaxed it has become in the layers. You may need to tent the pan with foil for the first or the last 45 minutes of roasting to give it a little braise time for the deepest interior, recalcitrant parts. Conversely, you may want to turn up the oven and give it a 30-minute finish in a hot oven to get better color.
• Pick out vertebrae. Slice off ribs. Then portion as you wish, using a sharp knife big enough for the job. Include the potatoes and onions and the liquid from the pan when you serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place anchovies, garlic, thyme, and 2 tablespoons vermouth or white wine in blender or food processor; process to a paste and rub paste all over the roast.
• Sprinkle roast with bread crumbs and place in a shallow roasting pan.
• Roast veal 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and pour remaining vermouth or white wine plus 1 cup of water into pan.
• Roast basting every 20 minutes for the first hour, just until juices run clear, about 1 hour 40 minutes (155-160 on a meat thermometer).
• Transfer veal to a platter and cover loosely with foil. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Pour remaining 1/4 cup water into roasting pan and scrape loose browned bits on bottom of pan.
• Pour into gravy boat.
• Cut veal into 1/4" slices and serve with the sauce.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the roast with the salt and pepper.
• Melt the butter in a heavy ovenproof saucepan or skillet. Add the roast and cook it over medium-to-low heat on top of the stove for 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is brown on all sides.
• Place in a preheated 425-degree oven. After 30 minutes, add the water and cook for 10 additional minutes. By then, the juices will have melted and a natural sauce formed.
• Let the roast stand for approximately 15 minutes to allow the meat to relax.
• At serving time, slice the roast and arrange a few slices on each of six plates. Spoon some of the natural juices over the meat and garnish each serving with a few glazed onions and two or three potato savonnettes.
