"strange relationship" grilled veal chops with miso marinade

Grilled veal chops, marinated in an umami rich miso sauce and grilled to tender, juicy perfection. This a great dish for a gourmet weeknight or romantic couples dinner.

The marinade includes Japanese based ingredients including red miso, Sake, and mirin that provide a deep, but balanced flavor to the veal..

MOOD MUSIC

Not sure about you, but I don’t automatically associate miso with veal. It may sound strange, but it works and works extremely well.

Grilled Veal Ingredients

• Bone-in Veal Chops
• Kosher salt
• Black pepper
• Miso (red preferably, but any darker one will do)
• Sake - miso needs some sweetness and the sake and mirin provide it
• Mirin
• Red Pepper Flakes

Grilling Instructions

Prepare the veal

Simply season the veal with salt and pepper. I prefer coarse pepper and kosher salt. 

Mix the miso, sake, miring, and red pepper in a mixing bowl. Place veal in a ziplock bag and add the marinade. Let veal marinate overnight. If you have the time, massage the marinade into the chops a few times to ensure the veal is well coated.

Grill the veal chops

Remove the veal from the fridge and allow to reach room temperature. Prepare the grill for direct heat grilling. Reserve the marinade.

Drain the chops then grill on high heat for 5-6 minutes per side. Brush the veal with some of the marinate the last 2 minutes of cooking. Remove the veal  and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. 

Cooking Considerations

Don’t complicate this recipe, pair it with some grilled or sautéed vegetables and/or simple grains dish.

This dish can either be a quick gourmet weeknight or special occasion

The longer the veal marinates the more deeply infused the flavor will be

If using wood to grill veal, use a milder wood like oak, pecan, or any fruit hardwood. Avoid the mesquites and hickories of the world as they will overpower the mild flavor of the veal.

I cook these to about 145 degrees which equates to medium rare.

Serve with a side of pan-roasted Jerusalem artichokes and easy spinach dish.
