To fully appreciate the exquisitely delicate flavor of this milk-fed veal, season the chops lightly with salt and pepper. Pan sear both sides in oil over high heat to achieve a golden-brown exterior. Transfer the skillet to a pre-heated oven and roast at 375°F to your desired internal temperature.
This veal porterhouse is delicious without further embellishment, but you can, if you wish, make a quick pan in the same skillet while the chops are resting. Sauté a few ounces of sliced mushrooms with some minced shallot. Deglaze the pan with a few ounces of brandy. Reduce the alcohol, then stir in a cup of heavy cream and a tablespoon of butter. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly. Ladle the sauce over the porterhouse chops and serve.
