Maple Syrup Veal Roast
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 70 minutes
Servings: 4
Preparation: simple
Ingredients
2½lb shoulder or leg roast 1.2 kg
2 tablespoons olive oil 30ml
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 medium onion sliced
2 grated carrots
4 oz maple syrup 100 ml
4 oz orange juice 100 ml
4 oz Demi Glace sauce mix (sold in an envelope) 100 ml
Directions
Preheat oven 93°C (200°F)
In a skillet heat oil and sear the milk-fed veal roast on its entire surface.
Searing, seals in the meat’s juices by cooking it quickly under a high heat.
Briefly remove the roast and put aside.
In the same skillet add salt, pepper, onion, carrots, ginger, orange juice and maple syrup.
Return the roast to the skillet.
Lightly baste the roast with the surrounding vegetables and liquid.
Cover and cook for 60 minutes on low heat.
The best way to ensure that the roast is done perfectly is to insert a meat thermometer in the middle of the roast. The ideal internal temperature of milk-fed veal roast is 70°C (160°F).
Stop cooking when the temperature is a few degrees below because the temperature will continue to rise when the meat is set aside (15 minutes).
Remove roast and keep warm in the preheated oven.
In the skillet, add the previously prepared demi-glace sauce (follow the directions on the package) to the skillet to accompany the vegetable/liquid mixture.
Slightly reduce the sauce. (about 5 minutes)
This delicious Maple flavoured sauce is now ready to pour over the veal roast when serving.
Serve with fresh vegetables and potatoes caramelized using maple syrup.
· Caramelization is the browning over heat with a liquid to bring out the natural sugars of the food.
Variations· Instead of cooking on the stove, the roast can be cooked in the oven at 135°C (275°F) for 90 minutes.
- For uniform cooking, meat cooked in the oven at a low temperature 120°C (250°F) will be more tender, juicier and will lose less weight.
- Cooking the roast at this temperature will require an additional 15 minutes.

Serves 6
Veal Sirloin is sometimes referred to as veal rump, but do not use shoulder. If the sirloin is unavailable, the best substitute is veal tenderloin treated the same way but only roasted for 12-15 minutes.
For the braised vegetables, use your favourite vegetables but try to include leeks as they ore excellent with veal. You could include parsnips, golden beets, sweet potatoes or even squash.
Vito’s Advice : “Always put the roast in the oven fat side up to make the meat really tender.”
Ingredients
- veal
3 lbs (1.5 kg) veal sirloin, tied in a roll ( we used top sirloin )
3 tablespoons (45 ml) small rosemary sprigs Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
2 tablespoons (25 ml) butter
1 cup (250 ml) chicken stock ( can use beef stock instead)
4 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
- braised vegetables
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 2 inch (5 cm) lengths
3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 2 inch (5 cm) lengths
1 lb mini potatoes (500 g)
3 cups (750 ml) chicken stock (or beef stock)
2 white turnips, peeled and cut into wedges
1 bunch leeks, dark green leaves removed, cut lengthwise through the root
12 stalks asparagus, tough ends trimmed
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cover meat with rosemary sprigs, tucking them inside strings if possible.
Season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over high heat until sizzling.
Add veal and brown on all sides, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Remove veal and place in a roasting pan.
Add stock and garlic to skillet, scraping up all the bits on the base.
Bring to boil.
Pour hot stock into the roasting pan.
Place pan in oven and roast for 40-45 minutes (depending on thickness) or until medium-rare ( if stock is reducing too quickly in pan, add up to ½ cup/125 ml water ).

While veal is roasting, place carrots, parsnips and potatoes into a pot of cold chicken stock over high heat and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until slightly softened.
Add turnips and leeks and simmer for 7-8 minutes.
Add asparagus and cook for 5 minutes more or until all vegetables are cooked through.
Reserve vegetables and cooking liquid and reheat when needed.
Remove roasting pan from oven, remove veal and let rest for 10 minutes.
Place pan over burner and add 1 cup (250 ml) reserved vegetable cooking liquid and bring to boil stirring all the little pieces at the base of the pan.
Simmer 2 minutes to intensify flavours.
Slice veal into ½ inch (1-cm) slices.
Serve with the braised vegetables and some of the sauce.
