Veal Jus

Cheese-Bath

Method

Veal Chop

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal Chop

    Season the veal chops with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chops and sear each side for 3-4 minutes until browned.

  2. 2

    Cook the Veal Chop

    Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the veal chops for an additional 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Potatoes au Gratin

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

  2. 4

    Layer the Potatoes

    In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, followed by half of the cream mixture and half of the Gruyère cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with cheese on top.

  3. 5

    Bake the Potatoes

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.

Veal Jus

  1. 6

    Prepare the Veal Jus

    In a large pot, roast the veal bones in a 400°F (200°C) oven for about 30 minutes until browned. In the same pot, add chopped carrot, celery, and onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes.

  2. 7

    Simmer the Jus

    Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping up any browned bits. Add water, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 hours. Strain the liquid and reserve.

Cheese-Bath

  1. 8

    Prepare the Cheese-Bath

    In a small saucepan, combine Gruyère cheese and heavy cream over low heat. Stir until the cheese melts and the mixture is smooth. Serve this cheese-bath tableside to pour over the veal chop and potatoes.
