Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 medium Shallot, finely minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 0.5 cup Chicken or veal stock
• 2 tablespoons Whole grain mustard
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

1. Pat the veal chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the veal chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced shallot and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

Step 4

4. Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the wine reduces by half.

Step 5

5. Stir in the chicken or veal stock, whole grain mustard, and honey. Add the fresh thyme leaves and stir to combine.

Step 6

6. Return the seared veal chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the veal chops are cooked to your desired doneness (145°F/63°C for medium-rare).

Step 7

7. Remove the veal chops to a serving plate and let them rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, continue to simmer the sauce for 2-3 more minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

8. Drizzle the sauce over the rested veal chops and serve immediately. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
