Loin

Loin of Veal is tender back muscle for chops, roasts, and quick sears. Baste lean game; rest and slice across the grain. Cook veal loin to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Escalopes, osso buco, chops, and roasts show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
