1

Put the garlic and 1 pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle; grind to a paste. Stir in the olive oil.
2

Set the roast in a baking dish; brush 1/2 of the garlic paste on one side. Season with 1 teaspoon salt.
3

Mix the peppercorns in a small bowl; press 1/2 of the mixture into the garlic paste on the roast. Flip the roast; brush the other side with the remaining 1/2 garlic paste, season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and press the remaining 1/2 peppercorn mixture into the garlic paste until the entire roast is coated.
4

Set the roast on a rack placed in the baking dish; refrigerate uncovered for 8 hours to overnight to dry out (if desired). The next day, let the roast sit for 1 hour to come to room temperature.
5

Melt the butter in a large ovenproof skillet; turn off the heat. Add the roast to the skillet; flip to coat both sides with the butter. Season with salt if desired.
6

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
7

Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; flip the roast. Lower the oven temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C); continue cooking until the pepper crust is lightly browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), about 15 minutes more.
8

Move the roast to a platter; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
9

Set the skillet with pan drippings over medium heat; whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, to remove the raw taste for 2 minutes; whisk in the veal stock.
10

Raise the heat to medium-high; bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to medium-low. Simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened and reduced by half, about 10 minutes; season with salt and cayenne pepper. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and any accumulated juices from the meat platter.
11

Slice the roast against the grain, starting at the smallest corner. Serve the slices on warmed plates drizzled with the sauce.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
