- Reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
- Roast veal for 20 to 40 minutes more.
- Inserting an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the meat to determine the doneness you prefer (126°F for medium rare. 134°F for medium, or 150°F for medium-well).

- platter, and allow to rest for 10 minutes, tented with foil.
