Ingredients

• 4 pieces veal chops
• 2 pieces ripe peaches
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup white wine
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the veal chops with kosher salt and black pepper. Allow them to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Peel and slice the peaches into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the veal chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove chops from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the peach slices, fresh thyme, honey, and balsamic vinegar to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the peaches evenly. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the peaches begin to soften.

Step 7

Return the veal chops to the skillet, nestling them among the peaches. Spoon some of the sauce over the chops and reduce the heat to low. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the veal chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and let the chops rest for 3 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with extra thyme if desired, alongside the peaches and sauce.
