I went all TRex on that mutha...

Home alone again, stopped at Wegman's with a steak in mind.  Veal chop was staring me in the face.  I'd never cooked one before, had only ever eaten a couple.  Ok - game one... BGE and I against veal rib chop!

Read about 100 posts here on various veal chop cooks, followed the trail to the TRex cook methodology.

Chop coated with olive oil, kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
Got the Egg as far as 575 - deja f-ing vu - rumbling in the distance.  Check radar...massive cell coming this way!  A little early, but got it on the grill for the sear - lid open.  A bit of a change - flip it - again, and again.  Ok - off for a rest (more like a 20 minute nap...cool, cuz I've only had one drink).
It's pouring outside.  Lightening strike - can't get to 1/2 before thunder propels the dog into my lap.  Sh-t - here we go again...  Go out to shut down Egg, fix drink three, heat oven...  Neverming that oven - dag-gone it, this chop is going on the Egg!  Pouring rain, dodging lightening - got the chop back on!

Ciabatta bread (my fav) in the toaster oven, pour a glass of Napa Cellars Cab (property breathed, aerated, and slightly chilled) - pull the chop!

Chop rested, bread buttered, quinoa salad on the plate (make it pretty for the team) - oh, the magic...real deal gramalata on top...
Goodness, gracious - maybe the best piece of meat I've ever eaten.  Serious.

Cheers!

Great documentary and result.  Congrats on bringing it home.  Most eggcellent. 
Two diamond plates in one thread-could be plate overload for us mere mortals.  Tilt to @Mattman3969 (inside joke)  for further assessment.  
Banquet right there!

You SOB... now I have to go and Google "gramalata".   

Looks awesome!  Thanks for the share.

I'm just saying - being a bachelor for a couple days - knowing further cooking was coming - I yanked the yellow-gold from the dirty dishes in the dishwasher.  Hey - I wiped it with a paper towel!

Dinner looks great.  And another member with a diamond plate.

Selected by the dear wife - I told her I prefer round.

I'm a little slow - now I get "diamond" plates vs square.  Just trying to make it purty for y'all!

Not so sure about the quinoa , but the steak looks perfect!  I've practically never cooked veal, and I've never grilled it.  I love the flavor of rare/medium-rare beef, and I'm not sure it would have occurred to me to grill milder-flavored veal, but it sounds great!
