Morphology
The meaning 'a roast made from veal' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'veal' (meat from a young calf) with 'roast' (a large cut of meat cooked by roasting). This noun-noun compounding is a regular, cross-linguistically common culinary pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The noun veal roast describes a piece of veal, the meat of a 'young calf', that is cooked in the oven as a roast. So it means a cut of veal made for 'roasting'.
