To make the mushroom sauce, heat the oil in a heavy skillet, add the shallots and mushrooms and saute for 3-4 minutes.
Add the peppercorns, vinegar, red wine, beef broth and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil, then simmer and reduce by half, about 15 – 20 minutes.
Stir in the mustard, butter, salt and cornstarch mixture to thicken slightly. Taste, add more salt if needed. 
Time to grill the veal chops, either stovetop in a heavy skillet or an outside grill. Rub the chops with a little oil and over high heat, grill the chops for 8 minutes on the first side, then turn and grill 7 – 8 more minutes.
To serve, plate the veal chops and top with the heavenly sauce! A delicious masterpiece!
