Pan-Roasted Veal Chops with Arugula
- 4 (1- to 1 1/4-inch-thick) veal rib chops (10 to 12 oz each), bones frenched if desired
- 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons minced shallot
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 3/4 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried, crumbled
- 2 small bunches arugula, trimmed
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Pat veal chops dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet (see cooks' note, below) over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear chops until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
- Transfer skillet to middle of oven and roast chops until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into a chop registers 155F (do not touch bone), 10 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness).
- While chops are roasting, mash garlic to a paste with salt using a mortar and pestle (or mince and mash with a large heavy knife), then transfer half of paste to a bowl and whisk in 1/2 tablespoon vinegar, remaining tablespoon oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer chops to a plate and keep warm.
- Add shallot and remaining garlic paste to skillet and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute.
- Add wine and remaining tablespoon vinegar and boil, scraping up brown bits, until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 4 minutes.
- Add broth and rosemary and boil until reduced by half, about 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, swirling skillet to incorporate, then stir in any veal juices accumulated on plate.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add arugula to dressing and toss to coat.
- Serve chops with sauce and arugula.
