Instructions
- Season: Take the veal chops out of the refrigerator. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then add minced rosemary and thyme.
- Rub the olive oil and seasoning onto all sides of the veal chops.
- Let the seasoned veal chops sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes before cooking. (DO NOT skip this step, or your veal chops won’t be cooked evenly.)
- Pan Sear the Chops: Place a large skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until hot. Add the remaining olive oil. Once hot, add smashed garlic and cook until the clove just turned brown. Discard the garlic.
- Increase the heat to high and then add the seasoned veal chops to the pan (make sure the chops are at room temperature). Cook for about 2 minutes or until the undersides have turned golden brown.
- Flip the veal chops and cook the other side for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Add chicken broth to the pan. Once it starts to simmer, cover the pan with a lid and let the chops braise for 5- 8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer. (Refer to the notes for other doneness levels.)
- Remove the chops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm (Don’t discard the juices in the pan). Let them rest for 5-10 minutes to let the juices retreat back into the meat.
- Make the sauce: In the meantime, leave about 1/4 cup of the juices in the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high, and add wine, butter, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Pour the sauce over the chops. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- * Selecting Veal Chops: They are usually sold bone-in. The meat should have a light pink color to indicate freshness and tenderness. Use rib veal chops instead of loin chops for the best result.
- Oil: Use regular olive oil instead of extra virgin, which has a lower smoke point. Alternatively, you can use canola oil or sunflower oil.
- Doneness: The internal doneness temperatures for veal are the same for beef. Remove from the heat at 140-145°F for medium, and 155°F for well-done. The temperature will rise another 5-10°F off the heat.
