Ingredients
- 1 veal chop, about 1 inch thick
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 large portobello mushroom, sliced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup beef or veal broth
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the veal chop: Season the veal chop generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Sear the veal chop: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the veal chop and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it develops a golden-brown crust. Remove the veal chop from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the mushrooms: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced portobello mushroom and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushroom is tender and has released its juices.
- Make the sauce: Pour the white wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer for about 2 minutes until it reduces by half. Add the beef or veal broth and fresh thyme, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Combine and finish: Return the veal chop to the skillet, nestling it among the mushrooms. Spoon some of the sauce over the chop. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the veal chop is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the flavors have melded together.
- Serve: Transfer the veal chop to a serving plate and spoon the mushroom and sauce mixture over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy your Veal Chop with Portobello Mushrooms as a sophisticated and delicious meal, perfect for treating yourself to a special dinner.
