Ingredients
- 4 pieces (8 oz each) Veal chops
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Arugula
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 ounce (shaved) Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Remove the veal chops from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
Step 2
While the veal chops are resting, prepare a marinade by combining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary leaves, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Step 3
Rub the marinade on both sides of the veal chops and let them rest for at least 10 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to ensure the veal chops don't stick.
Step 5
Grill the veal chops for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on their thickness, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F for medium doneness. Remove from heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 6
While the chops are grilling, prepare the arugula salad. In a large bowl, combine arugula and halved cherry tomatoes.
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil and lemon juice. Drizzle this dressing over the arugula and tomatoes, tossing gently to coat.
Step 8
Top the salad with shaved Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 9
Plate the grilled veal chops alongside a generous portion of arugula salad and serve immediately.
