Veal doesn't generally come in "steaks," but I've used inexpensive veal shoulder chops to simulate the steak experience. In addition to broiling, these steaks can easily be mode on an outdoor grill.
Ingredients 6 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 bunch fresh thyme 4 veal shoulder chops (8 ounces each), about 1/2" thick
Several hours before you plan to serve, place the mustard in a small bowl. Set aside 4 large sprigs of the thyme to use as a garnish and chop the remaining thyme leaves to get 2 tablespoons and stir into the mustard.
Lightly season the veal with salt. Slather all but 2 tablespoons mustard all over the veal chops. Dust with coarsely ground black pepper. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
Preheat the broiler.
Put the veal on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil the veal on 1 side for 3 minutes, until dark golden brown, turn it over, and cook for 2 minutes longer, or until it reaches the desired doneness. (Be careful not to overcook.) Serve the veal immediately with the remaining mustard and garnish with the reserved sprigs of thyme.
