Directions
Cook the Veal:
Preheat oven to 100°C (fan). Drizzle veal with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
Grill on high heat for 3–4 minutes on each side, until well charred.
Transfer to a tray and cook in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 56–58°C.
Let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Make the Wild Garlic Butter:
In a high-speed blender, combine olive oil, wild garlic, parsley, chervil, and lemon zest.
Blend until smooth and vibrant green.
Mix the herb oil into the softened butter until fully incorporated.
Spread the butter thinly on a baking sheet lined tray and freeze until solid.
Prepare the Red Wine Jus:
In a small saucepan, sauté shallots in olive oil until lightly caramelized.
Add tomato and thyme; cook for 1 more minute.
Add smoked pork belly and red wine. Reduce until nearly dry.
Add veal stock, reduce by half, then strain.
Finish with red wine vinegar to taste, and season with salt and pepper.
Plating & Serving:
Slice the veal and divide among plates.
Spoon over the warm red wine jus.
Top each portion with a piece of frozen wild garlic butter.
Use a blowtorch to lightly melt the butter just before serving.
Garnish with Spanish chervil and edible flowers. Serve with roasted vegetables or potatoes if desired.
