Herb-rubbed veal roast cooked to juicy perfection is a Sunday family tradition. This high protein mediterranean dish is a fresh, elegant carnivore centerpiece for any Italian table.
Pat the veal roast dry and tie it with kitchen twine to ensure even cooking and a compact shape.
Combine rosemary, sage, thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub this mixture over the entire roast, pressing firmly to maximize aromatic infusion.
Heat olive oil in a heavy roasting pan over medium-high. Sear the veal on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side, locking in juices.
Transfer the seared roast onto a rack in the pan, and roast in a preheated 350°F oven for 75–90 minutes, basting every 20 minutes with pan drippings to maintain moisture.
Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer: remove from oven when it reaches 145°F for medium. Let rest under foil for at least 15 minutes before slicing to achieve ultimate juiciness and tender texture.
