Veal in a sleeve

Cookinero 20 Apr 2025

Veal baked in a sleeve is suitable for dietary or therapeutic nutrition. Quality meat has a color from white-pink to creamy-pink. The lighter the meat, the younger the animal, and the more milk was in the diet. According to the method of preparation according to the recipe, veal is more similar to poultry, and not beef or pork. For baking in the oven in one piece, the tenderloin or loin or rump - a piece obtained from the hind leg, without fat and with tender fibers - are suitable.

How to cook Veal in a sleeve

Step 1

Veal in the sleeve

Prepare the meat. Rub the veal with salt, pepper, dried basil, oil and balsamic vinegar. Make small holes with the tip of a knife and stuff the meat with garlic. Cover with cling film. Leave to marinate for 2 hours at room temperature. You can also leave the meat to marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Brown the veal before baking. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a preheated frying pan and quickly brown the meat on all sides. This will take 3-4 minutes. Technically, the frying process is needed to give the crust a crispy texture. It does not affect the taste or juiciness.

Step 3

Start baking the veal in the sleeve. Place the meat in the baking sleeve, add sprigs of rosemary. Close the sleeve and pierce it with a toothpick in a couple of places to let the steam out. Place the meat on a baking tray and put it in the oven for 80 minutes.

Step 4

Let the meat "rest". Transfer the meat to a dish and pour the juice that has formed in the sleeve over it. Cover the meat with a sheet of foil and let it "rest" at room temperature for 10 to 30 minutes. Due to the residual heat, the piece will gain another 4-8 °C, and the juices inside it will be evenly distributed.

Veal in a sleeve - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute veal with beef, pork, or lamb. Adjust cooking times accordingly as thicker or denser cuts may require longer roasting.
Red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar works well as a substitute. Alternatively, a splash of soy sauce adds depth of flavor.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
For a vegetarian version, use large portobello mushrooms or a block of firm tofu. Marinate and roast similarly, adjusting cooking times as needed.
Serve with roasted potatoes, green beans, or a fresh arugula salad. Creamy polenta or mashed cauliflower also complements the veal beautifully.
Yes, slice and freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat covered in foil to retain moisture.
Resting allows juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender result. Skipping this step may cause juices to spill out when sliced.
Browning adds texture and flavor, but you can skip it for quicker prep. The meat will still be juicy, just less caramelized on the outside.
