Allow your chops to rest after rubbing them in olive oil, salt, and pepper and placing the rosemary on top. Prep the grill for grilling. Making sure the grill is hot to achieve those nice grill marks.

Make sure not to over cook these delicious veal chops. Veal cooks fast and rib or loin chops are no exception. So be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure the perfect internal temperature.
