By the way,when I'm cutting meat at work,the eye round roasts seem to be the piece of meat that has that greenish metallic sheen to it.Hope this helps,and thanks for stopping by !!! @ spidrcow, think of a rainbow,where light hits water droplets and refracts into different colors.It’s the same principle on your roast.There’s a little water naturally present in all meat,and when the meat is cut,light refracts off the water,creating the irridescense you see.

Eat well !!!!

My hubby is impressed that I have you as a resource and I feel fortunate. I'm so glad that you decided to have this website! I'll report back with the resulting veal breast dish. Stuffing 'em sounds great! Thanks for the info Matt! My hubby is impressed that I have you as a resource and I feel fortunate. I’m so glad that you decided to have this website!

Most of the time veal breast is sold whole or halved,with a pocket cut in them. then they are uusually stuffed with a savory stuffing and baked.Hope this helps and if you need more info feel free to email me at onepercent99@hotmail.com Hi wookie…it sounds to me like the veal breast was already cut into individual ribs,lookig like beef short ribs,if so just cook them as you would regular short ribs.Be advised tho,what makes short ribs so good is all the marbling (fat) in them.As veal is much leaner than beef I don’t suppose they’ll be as rich as the beef ones.

My husband brought home a pack of veal breast. It's size and shape reminds me of short ribs. Does this sound familiar to you? If so, what sort of cooking method do you recommend? I think hubby bought it because (a) it was cheap and (b) it looks like beef short ribs (we love braised short ribs). Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Matt,
