Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs veal stew meant, on the bone
  • 2 tbsp flour, for dredging
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 large potatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups red wine
  • 4 cups beef broth or water
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the veal in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear the meat on all sides until browned.
  • Remove the meat and set it aside.
  •  In the same pot, add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes, sautéing them for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Return the seared veal to the pot. Stir in the tomato paste, ensuring everything is well coated.
  • Pour in the red wine, using it to deglaze the pot and scrape up all the flavorful bits stuck to the bottom
  • Allow the wine to simmer for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Once the red wine is reduced, add the broth until it just covers the veal
  • Pop in the bay leaves and add the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Cover, bring to a boil, and then turn the heat down to a simmer for about an hour.
  • Once done, add in fresh parsley as a garnish!
