Veal Shoulder Roast is our leanest Rose Veal roast. It's cut from the eye of the shoulder, and takes beautifully to a brine or marinade. You'll notice this roast isn't "white" like conventional veal --that's because our animals are never forcibly confined; instead, they nurse and graze freely on pasture to bring you a healthy, sustainable and ethical veal. Shallots, rosemary, garlic, and honey are our favorite flavors with this roast. Slice thinly to serve. *Price per pound is an estimate for comparison purposes only.

About this cut
Our leanest Rose Veal roast is cut from the eye of the shoulder, and takes beautifully to a brine or marinade. Shallots, rosemary, garlic, and honey are our favorite flavors with this roast. Cloves and cinnamon are wonderful as well. Slice thinly to serve.
Basic Cooking Technique
Dry roast to rare or medium rare. If brined first, can be roasted to medium. If serving immediately after cooking, tent with foil for 10-15 minutes before serving. If making ahead, cool and then refrigerate. You'll be able to slice thin slices when the meat is cold, then you can reheat them gently in a tightly covered pan with some liquid, taking care not to let the meat dry out (or serve at room temperature).

Additional Info
Products are packed with coolant during their journey to ensure they arrive in great shape. Meats will arrive frozen or refrigerated. Most of our products are shipped frozen; occasionally, due to a very quick turnaround between when the meats arrive at our freezing and distribution facility and when they are delivered to you, meats may be shipped fresh. Meat that is cold to the touch can be refrigerated for immediate use, or frozen for later use. Learn more.

Did not work out
Regrettably, a disaster… followed recipe/instructions to the letter. Allowed the roast to cool. And after refrigerating, sliced it. Meat was so tough it was inedible. Tried to retrieve the situation by braising it, but barely helped. Alas, in the bin Erev RH. What did i do wrong???? Note from Grow & Behold: Paul we are so sorry to hear this! We'll follow up with you directly.

Excellent Roast
Absolutely delicious. When braised, it become exceedingly flavorful and tender. One of my most requested menu items. I highly recommend it.

Very flavorful. Parts of it not as tender as I had hoped.
How Many Pieces Will I Receive?
Our frozen meats are packaged in vacuum-sealed packages. Most packages contain one piece (ie, one Brisket). Some packages will contain two pieces (ie, Lamb Chops). Packages of smaller items, such as Chicken Wings or Pepper Steak, will contain multiple pieces.
For red meat items and multi-pack poultry items, vacuum-sealed packages may be packed in a cardboard box. If there is an option to choose how many packages you'd like in the box, you'll make that selection under "Customize Your Order." Then you'll choose your preferred weight (that is, the combined weight of all the the packages in that box.) If only one choice is showing in a green box, you do not need to make any selection.
Example: Lamb Chops
Let's say you're ordering Lamb Chops and you select the following:
You've chosen: 2 packages, ~1.1 lb, and the price shows $39.99.
You’ll receive 1 box, with 2 packages of lamb chops inside.
Each package will contain 2 lamb chops. You’ll have 4 lamb chops in total. We always try to pack similar-sized items, but you may find that some chops are slightly larger and some are slightly smaller.
How Much Does It Weigh?
We use weight ranges in order to keep our fulfillment system practical and manageable for items with variable weights (for example steaks. Packages of deli meats which are not sold by weight range as we can pack them by exact weight). The ranges are as small as practically possible to minimize the variation between the Selected Weight and the actual weght you receive. Because of this, if the price per pound is shown as "price/lb*", the *" indicates that it is an estimate for comparison purposes only, since the price associated with the selected weight is the price for all items within that weight range.
This chart shows the potential weight variance for selected weights on our site:
| Selected Weight | Potential Weight Variance |
|---|---|
| under ~0.95 lb | +/- 0.15 lb |
| ~1 lb to ~3.9 lb | +/- 0.25 lb |
| ~4 lb to ~10 lb | +/- 0.5 lb | over ~10 lb | +/- 1 lb |
For example:
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~1.5 lb could weigh as much as 1.75 lb or as little as 1.25 lb
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~5 lb could weigh as much as 5.5 lb or as little as 4.5 lb
We keep the ranges as small as practically possible to minimize the variation you might receive. Sometimes you will receive a bit more than the listed weight, and sometimes a bit less. Our customers find that on average they receive what they are expecting. But if you find that your actual weights in an order are all below the listed average, please snap a picture of the weight labels and send it over to us, and we'll be happy to make things right.
