Barbecue Veal

Selecting Veal:
Not all veal is created equal or feed the same. There are two kinds of veal, milk or formula feed veal and grass or range feed veal. Typically the range feed veal gets more exercise and tends to be a little tougher, but not so much that you would notice. Your butcher or at least the packaging should tell you which kind of veal you are looking at. Milk feed veal should be a pale pink color with creamy white fat, while range feed veal should be red with yellowish fat.

What you want to avoid veal that is too pale. When it comes to veal smaller isn’t better. Veal is labeled similar to beef with “Good” replacing “Select” when it comes to USDA grading. Most cuts of veal want to be cooking in a hot, dry heat. This makes grilling perfect for veal.

While you might be more familiar with Italian and French veal recipes that rely on sautéing, the grill will add flavor and get the veal cooked before it dries out. Of course, like with beef, timing is everything. The secret is to not let the veal dry out. Since veal is so lean it can not tolerate overcooking, so aim for medium-rare and keep an instant read thermometer handy.

Veal has a delicate flavor that you do not want to overpower. However, because veal is so lean you want to do some fat replacement on it. A marinade based on olive oil and a few light seasonings will work great.
You may also choose to simply brush a light coating of oil over the meat and lightly season with salt and pepper. This simple solution is perfect for veal since the flavor is already great.
