Equipment
- Large container for water bath
Ingredients
- 2 thick veal chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- squeeze of lemon juice
Mushroom Sauce:
- 16 ounces mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- ¾ cup chicken stock
- ¼ cup cream
Instructions
- Season the veal chops with salt and pepper and vacuum seal (or use the water displacement method discussed in the post above).
- Heat the sous vide water bath to 132F degrees and place the veal chops inside to cook for 3 hours.
- Remove the chops from the water bath and take them out of the bag. Pat dry.
- Heat a skillet over high heat until smoking. Place the veal chops in and sear for 1 minute a side.
- Remove and serve with the mushroom sauce and a light squeeze of lemon on top.
Mushroom Sauce:
- Warm the stock and whisk it together with the miso.
- Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add the mushrooms. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until golden on the outside and their liquid has mostly released.
- Turn down the heat to medium and add the butter and garlic; cook until garlic is lightly browned.
- Add the mirin and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the broth and miso mix, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the cream and bring to a simmer again. Remove from heat and serve over veal chops.
Notes
- Any kind of mushrooms will work. I use a combination of white, cremini, fresh shiitake and porcinis (if I can find them).
- You can substitute red miso paste for the white if that's what you have. It has a slightly stronger taste, but works well in the sauce.
- Make sure the skillet is smoking hot before adding the veal - we only want to sear it very quickly on the outside as the inside is already cooked.
- When cooking the mushrooms for the sauce, make sure the pan is hot when adding them so they brown instead of steam. The browning helps add flavor.
- If the sauce is too thick, add additional stock or cream to thin it out. Adjust for salt if needed.
- If the sauce is too thin, simmer for an extra few minutes until it is slightly reduced and thickened.
