Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 1-inch-thick veal loin chops
Dried rubbed sage
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped shallots
1/3 cup unsalted beef broth
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage or 2 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup half and half
Fresh sage leaves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter with oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chops with dried sage and pepper. Add to skillet and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium and cook to desired doneness, about 1 minute per side for medium-rare. Transfer veal to plate; keep warm.

    Step 2

    Add shallots to same skillet and stir 1 minute. Add broth, 1 tablespoon minced sage and mustard to skillet and boil until very thick, scraping up browned bits, about 4 minutes. Add half and half and boil until liquid thickens to sauce consistency, about 1 minute. Mix in remaining 1 tablespoon minced sage and any juices exuded by veal. Adjust seasoning. Place 1 chop on each plate. Spoon sauce over. Garnish with fresh sage leaves and serve.
