Ingredients
- 2 lbs veal roast, boneless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken or veal broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pat the veal roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture for better browning.
- In a small bowl, mix together the chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Rub the olive oil all over the veal roast, then coat it evenly with the herb mixture, pressing down gently to help it adhere.
- Place the seasoned veal roast in a roasting pan. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat for an accurate temperature reading.
- Roast the veal in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
- Check on the veal halfway through its cooking time. Pour the chicken or veal broth into the roasting pan at this point to keep the meat moist.
- Once the veal reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 15 minutes. This improves juiciness.
- While the veal is resting, skim off any excess fat from the pan juices. Then, place the roasting pan over medium heat on the stovetop.
- Add one tablespoon of butter to the pan juices and stir until melted and well combined. This will make a simple sauce to serve with the veal.
- Slice the veal thinly and serve it with the pan sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy while warm.
