Veal Loin

I've been given a veal loin-1.94lbs, 3 chops. I am not sure how to cook it.
I would rather cook as a roast than separate it into the 3 chops. I've not
seen one this small.

Any suggestions?

Cook it on the grill like a big steak. If you cook it in the oven you
are not going to get much exterior browning/carmelization, if any before
it is over cooked in the center. Nice gift!

That's what I usually do with them. I season then and slap them on a hot
grill and cook them to medium rare.

Then use a very hot iron skillet and cook it like one steak (don't cut).
By the time you brown all surfaces including edges.. done! Less than 2
lbs is equivalent to one large steak.

That's why you brown it on the stove, then put it in the oven at
250F so that's it evenly cooked all throughout.

Much like that prime rib you keep drooling over.

A 2lb "steak" (you pig!) would be about 2.5"-3" thick assuming strip
or ribeye. There's no way that's going to cook evenly on the stove.

Brown on stove, finish in oven on low heat.
