Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
6 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons black peppercorns
2 tablespoons olive oil
four 1 1/4inch-thick frenched veal rib chops* (each about 12 ounces)
1 bacon slice
1 shallot
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup pomegranate juice**
2 cups beef or veal stock***

Steps:

  • Finely chop thyme and garlic and coarsely crush peppercorns. In a small bowl stir together thyme, garlic, peppercorns, and oil and rub over chops. Chill chops, covered, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Separately chop bacon and shallot. In a heavy saucepan cook bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until browned. Add shallot and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and boil until reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Add tomato paste and pomegranate juice and boil, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about 2/3 cup. Add stock and boil until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup.
  • Heat a lightly oiled ridged grill pan over moderate heat until hot. Season chops with salt and grill 3 minutes on each side, or until browned. Transfer chops to a baking pan and bake in middle of oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into chops registers 155°F, 15 to 20 minutes for medium.
  • Reheat sauce and serve with chops.
