VEAL CHOPS WITH FONTINA RECIPE - (5/5)



Veal Chops with Fontina Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by á-27006

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 bone-in veal rib chops, about 1 1/2 inches thick, 8 to 10 ounces each
2 teaspoons kosher salt
8 ounces Fontina cheese, shredded, from Valle d 'Aosta
1 cup Grana Padano, grated, or Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging, plus more as needed
12 sage leaves
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth, hot

Steps:

  • Arrange an oven rack to accommodate the covered saucepan, and heat oven to 400 degrees. Trim the chops, leaving only a thin layer of fat. With a sharp, thin knife, slice horizontally into the outer edge of each chop, splitting the meaty portion in two almost all the way to the bone, forming a pocket for stuffing. With the mallet, pound and spread the meaty part, flattening it to 1/2-inch thickness. Lift the top flap of the meat you just sliced apart, hold it up, and pound the bottom flap of meat few more times, spreading it thinner and wider than the upper flap. When all the chops are sliced and pounded, salt them on both sides, using a teaspoon in all. Toss together the shredded fontina and the grana (grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano), and divide the cheeses into six equal portions. One at a time, lightly compress the cheese portions into oval patties, and slip them into the sliced chop pockets. Fold the larger bottom meat flap over the top flap - enclosing the cheese-and thread a toothpick through both flaps to keep them together. (The chops can be prepared up to this point a day in advance, sealed in plastic wrap and refrigerated.) Put 2 tablespoons of the butter and the olive oil in the big pan, and set over medium-high heat. Spread the flour on a plate, dredge each chop on both sides, shake off excess flour, and lay it in the pan. When all the chops are in the pan, drop the sages leaves in between them. Cook the chops for 5 minutes or more, turning them once or twice, until well browned on both sides. Clear a space in the pan bottom, drop in the tomato paste, and toast it in the hot spot for a minute. Pour the wine over the tomato paste, stir them together, and shake the pan to distribute the liquid. Bring it to a boil, and cook for 3 minutes or so, to reduce. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and whisk it into the pan liquid. Turn the chops over, pour in the chicken stock, sprinkle on the remaining salt, and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, and place in the oven. Roast for about 15 minutes, then remove the cover and roast another 10 minutes or so, until the chops are done and the sauce has thickened. Remove from the oven, and place the chops on a warm platter. (Drape a towel over the handle of the pan when it comes out of the oven to remind you it is very hot.) If the sauce is thin, put the pan over high heat and reduce until the sauce has the consistency you like. Serve right away-while the cheese is still oozing-arranging all the chops on a warm platter and spooning the sauce over, family-style, or on warm dinner plates with mashed potatoes alongside and sauce drizzled over. (If you do have fresh white truffle, shave it on the top of each chop at this moment.)

Pan Seared Veal Rib Eyes with Prosciutto and Fontina image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 (3/4 to 1-pound) veal rib eye steaks, bone in (1 1/2 to 2 pounds total weight)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons bacon fat
1/2 pound fontina, thinly sliced
1/4 pound prosciutto, thinly sliced (3 to 4 slices)
1/2 cup finely diced shallots
1 cup beef stock, best quality
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 170 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Pound the steaks to 1/2-inch thickness over plastic wrap. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until it reaches an internal temperature of 80 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
  • In 2 large saute pans over medium-high heat, divide the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the bacon fat between the pans and heat until shimmering. Add 2 steaks to each pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place the steaks onto a wire rack over a baking sheet. Top with fontina and then the prosciutto slices, evenly covering the cheese.
  • Adjust the oven to low broil and place the pan in the oven. Broil until the prosciutto is crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove and allow to rest 5 minutes, lightly covered with foil.
  • In each saute pan, evenly divide the shallots and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze each with half the beef stock. Evenly divide the thyme and allow to reduce, 3 to 4 minutes. Combine the liquid into 1 pan, add the butter and adjust the seasoning, if desired.
  • Serve the steaks drizzled with the pan sauce and garnish with the parsley.

GRILLED AND STUFFED VEAL CHOP



Grilled And Stuffed Veal Chop image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 thick veal chops, well trimmed
8 thick slices Italian fontina cheese
8 thin slices, prosciutto ham
Garlic pepper
Seasoning salt (recommended: Lawry's)
Store-bought steak sauce (recommended: Peter Luger's)

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to high.
  • Cut a pocket in the veal chops and stuff with 1 thick slice of Fontina cheese and one thin slice of Prosciutto. Seal with a toothpick. Season the chops with the garlic pepper and salt. Place on the hot grill and sear, about 3 to 4 minutes. Rotate once in between to achieve grill marks. Then flip the chops and do the same on the other side.
  • Remove from direct heat and put chops on the shelf of the barbecue. Baste with steak sauce and close lid. After about 5 minutes flip and baste the other side. Close lid for 4 or 5 minutes, or until the chops are fully cooked, when the internal temperature is 140 degrees F. Let rest for 3 to 5 minutes in a warm spot. Then serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality veal chops. Look for chops that are evenly thick and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Pound the veal chops to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Season the veal chops liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Sear the veal chops in a hot skillet until they are browned on both sides. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chops from drying out.
  • Reduce the heat and cook the veal chops until they are cooked through. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the veal chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chops.
  • Serve the veal chops with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Veal chops with Fontina is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The chops are tender and juicy, and the Fontina cheese adds a rich and creamy flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
