Directions

Prepare the Veal

  1. Cut the deboned veal shoulder into four even portions, shaping each piece into a uniform log. Wrap each log very tightly in several layers of plastic wrap, twisting and tying the ends to compress the meat and remove as much trapped air as possible. Place the wrapped portions into sous-vide bags and seal securely.

  2. Cook the veal sous-vide at 135 degrees Fahrenheit for 36 hours.

  3. Once cooked, immediately transfer the bags to an ice bath and chill completely. When ready to serve, remove the veal from the bags and plastic wrap, then slice into even medallions.

Prepare the Apple Butter

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Spread the peeled and diced Granny Smith apples onto a roasting pan and roast until very tender and deeply caramelized. Allow the edges to develop plenty of color; this will provide much of the finished apple butter’s richness and depth.

  3. Transfer the roasted apples to a blender with the bourbon, apple cider vinegar, vanilla, water, salt, and vegan butter. Blend until completely smooth, glossy, and luxurious. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then transfer to a container and chill until ready to serve.

Prepare the Braised Red Cabbage

  1. Melt the duck fat in a large, shallow pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook gently until soft and translucent without developing too much color.

  2. Add the shaved red cabbage, season with salt, and sauté until the cabbage begins to soften.

  3. Pour in the Chenin Blanc and lemon juice, then add the bay leaves. Stir well, cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Braise gently until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have come together.

  4. Remove the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning before serving.

Prepare the Celeriac Butter

  1. Steam the peeled and sliced celeriac until completely tender. Transfer the hot celeriac to a blender and add the vegan butter. Season with salt and white pepper to taste, then blend until exceptionally smooth and creamy.

  2. Keep warm for serving immediately, or chill and gently reheat when ready to plate.

To Assemble

  1. Arrange a spoonful of warm celeriac butter on each plate and top with the veal medallions.

  2. Add the braised red cabbage and apple butter alongside, balancing the rich veal and celeriac with the sweet acidity of the apples and cabbage.

  3. Serve immediately.

Can I use beef shoulder instead of veal?

Yes, beef shoulder should work in place of veal shoulder. It will have a slightly richer, beefier flavor and may have a somewhat firmer texture. Since this recipe was developed specifically for veal, we haven't tested the beef substitution, so the exact texture and cooking time may vary.
