Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar or a teaspoon of mustard to the marinade. If you're looking for a lower-sodium option, try using low-sodium soy sauce or tamari. To enhance the garlic flavor, fresh minced garlic can be substituted for garlic powder. This recipe pairs beautifully with Sautéed Peppers for a colorful side dish.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the veal roast thinly and serve it with a side of mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious juices. It also pairs well with a fresh green salad or What-Ya-Ma-Call-It-Salad for a refreshing contrast. For a hearty meal, consider serving it alongside a warm serving of Crock Pot Sirloin Tip Casserole.
