Veal Roast with Mustard and Garlic

This veal roast is a good choice for romantic or family dinner. Meat can be prepared for cooking in advance, like a night before, and then roast day after. That will make meat even better marinated.

I think veal is the best for this recipe, but since veal is hard to get and can be quite pricey – beef can be used as well. If you choose to cook beef – increase roasting time a bit.

Veal roast can be served warm straight from the oven, as one piece or spiced into portions. It also tastes good cooled down.

How to prepare, step-by-step:

  1. Prepare ingredients: I was lucky to get nice piece of veal chuck roast, boneless shoulder part will work too, as well as if you can’t find veal, beef will do too (beef require more time to cook thought):

  9. Put top and bottom sides of foil together and fold, then repeat with left and right sides, so meat is in airtight foil envelope. Set it aside to marinate for about 30 mins (you can leave it in fridge over night if needed):

  10. Warm up oven at 380F, put meat in and roast for about 3 hours (if you like pink inside – reduce time a bit, if piece of meat is bigger – increase it). I don’t like pink so I roast meat until it starts producing clear juice when pierced with a knife (if you need to test readiness – just get meat out of the oven, unfold and try, if more time is needed just fold it back into foil and put to the oven to cook more):

    This was delicious and simple to prepare! I’m making it a second time, tomorrow for Easter dinner.

    I just tried this recipe. I have this to say about that: Wow! Thank you for sharing! I made it for my wife and I, and we’re going to enjoy making sandwiches with the leftovers. Thanks again. It’s terrific!

  4. Dee says:

    Love the flavor and ease of the recipe. However, you have to use a meat thermometer when you cook it. It’s a must-have when cooking larger hunks of meat. I cooked this to 160 degrees and it was succulent.

  5. Carla Corna says:

    DO NOT make this, the cooking time is SO far off! The flavor is bland, I just wasted $45.00 on a veal roast which is as dry as a piece of wood. My saving grace is that I did not make the other two dishes that were suggested. Happy Easter.

    • I am sorry the recipe didn’t work for you. This one never came out for me as a dry piece of wood, so the only thing which can probably be off is a cooking time. Proper roasting time will heavily depend on both dimensions and weight of the meat piece, so it is hard to specify accurate time in the recipe.
