Ingredients
  • 2 Shallots
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 Sprigs Fresh rosemary
  • 3 cup Balsamic vinegar; divided
  • 1/2 cup Olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 4 Veal chops; 10 oz each
  • 4 teaspoon Basil-infused oil
  • 4 Sprigs Fresh thyme (garnish)
Directions
  1. 1
    Roughly chop the shallots, garlic cloves, and fresh rosemary sprigs.
  2. 2
    Place the chopped aromatics in a large casserole dish or resealable bag large enough to hold the veal chops flat.
  3. 3
    Add 2 cups of the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper to the dish. Mix well to combine.
  4. 4
    Add the veal chops to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, turning occasionally if possible.
  5. 5
    Meanwhile, pour the remaining 1 cup of balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan.
  6. 6
    Heat the vinegar over low heat, stirring frequently, until it reduces to a thick, syrupy consistency, about 8 to 10 minutes. Do not let it boil rapidly to prevent burning. You should have approximately 4 teaspoons of glaze.
  7. 7
    Remove the veal chops from the marinade and let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Discard the used marinade.
  8. 8
    Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  9. 9
    Place the veal chops on the hot grill. Cook for 9 to 13 minutes total, turning once halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145F for medium-rare or 160F for medium.
  10. 10
    Transfer the grilled chops to warm plates.
  11. 11
    Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the reduced balsamic vinegar over each chop.
  12. 12
    Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and serve immediately.
