Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Searing the Veal

    In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the veal cubes and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the veal from the pot and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sautéing Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  3. 3

    Building the Sauce

    Stir in the tomato paste, mixing well with the vegetables. Pour in the red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combining Ingredients

    Return the seared veal to the pot. Add the broth, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

  5. 5

    Simmering

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the veal is tender and the flavors have melded together.

  6. 6

    Final Touches

    Remove the bay leaves and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
