Title: Veal Breast?
Post by: CarpBill on November 01, 2014, 05:40:54 PM
Our local Publix has veal breast at a really good price, I have never even heard of it before is it good to grill or smoke?

Bill I seem to remember my mother stuffing the veal breast and then roasting it. So I would imagine you could do a nice job of cooking it in-directly.

Like Hikerman suggests - indirect heat - and because of how lean it is...you may want to stuff it with things to keep it moist. As well - rub a little oil on the outside with your seasonings of choice. Can make for a fabulous meal! Pictures and a recipe if you are happy with the taste of it would be nice too!

Veal breast is the same cut as brisket but from a very young cow.

Stuffing would be good but anything you do would be better low and slow.

You could smoke it for a few hours then boat it in a foil pan with some beer or red wine until tender.

Let us know how it turns out and post some pics too.

Basically what's been said above (thumbs up). Also, does it still have the rib bones attached? If so, remove them, leave a little meat on them, and now you have another meal of veal ribs.

I always like to cut a slit in the side of the breast and stuff it with breakfast sausage and bacon, roll it tie it and cook indirect at around 300-325° until the sausage was done (160-165°).

WOW, that sounds good!  Make a little GRAVY to pour over it and you've got something to eat  ;D
