Equipment

  • One 6-quart saute pan with a tight lid

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds Porterhouse Veal Steaks/Chops (about 4 pieces)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter cut into chunks - about 4 to 6 pieces
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoons capers rinsed
  • 1 serrano pepper seeded and diced
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and crushed or finely minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken bone broth

Instructions

  • Season the veal porterhouse steaks generously on both sides with all of the salt and black pepper.
    Note: I usually like to mix the salt and pepper together and then use it to season the veal. I also allow the steaks to rest for 10 to 15 minutes while I prepare the other ingredients.
  • Heat the oilve oil in a large saute pan, over medium high heat.
  • Cook the veal steaks/chops 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Turn down the heat to medium. Saute the serrano peppers in the same pan - cook about 2 minutes.
    Note: You can, if preferred, add another 1/2 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Add the rosemary, garlic and capers. Mix. Cook up to 1 minute.
  • Slowly add the chicken bone broth. Stir, scraping up the brown bits.
  • Add the lemon zest and juice. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add back the veal; coating both sides with the sauce.
  • Cover the pan with a tight lid. Lower the heat to medium low.
  • Let the steak chops simmer for 15 minutes. Use a thong to filp the steaks over. Cover and cook 5 more minutes.
  • Transfer to a platter.
  • Add the butter to the pan gravy/juices, one piece at a time. Whisk or stir until each piece of butter fully melts and the sauce becomes a bit creamy and slightly thickened.
    Note: It's important to use cold butter - this will help the sauce to become creamy.
  • Turn off the stove. Spoon the sauce all over the veal steaks. Garnish with herbs if desired.
  • Serve with your favorite side dish. I served this with my Dilled Peas with toasted walnuts (Recipe link in notes).
