These grilled veal chops make are the main event for our 4th of July menu. But, I would keep the recipe handy for the entire grilling season! It’s a great dish to impress your guests or just enjoy yourself!
Grilled Veal Rib Chop Recipe with Shiitake Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 4 of the biggest chops you can find
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic minced. (Sprinkle some coarse salt on top of your garlic before mincing. Trust me.)
- About a tablespoon finely chopped fresh Rosemary
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- About 30 minutes before you are ready to grill, take your chops out of the refrigerator and salt them.
- Brush the chops with a light coat of olive oil then rub with the minced garlic and rosemary.
- While the veal is resting, prepare your mushrooms by wiping them off and removing the stems.
- Thinly slice a clove of garlic (or more if you like).
- Put about 2 tablespoons of salted butter in a saute pan that is large enough not to crowd the mushrooms and add the garlic. (I also like to add a little lemon zest.)
- Once the butter has melted add the mushrooms. I place them bottom side down for about 2 minutes then turn them over until the butter is absorbed.
- Set aside until the chops are done.
- Make sure your grill is nice and hot before you put the chops on.
- I’ve read that it is best to only turn meat once while grilling so that’s the way I do it. It’s probably not your first time at the grill, so feel free to do it your way.
- Once the chops have reached the desired temperature, top with the mushrooms- just don’t serve on a paper plate.
- Yum!
