Vitela Em Molho De Vinho Do Porto Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Veal

   Season the veal with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the veal on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

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

3. 3

   Deglaze with Port Wine

   Pour in the Port wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce by half.

4. 4

   Add Stock and Herbs

   Return the veal to the pot, add the beef or vegetable stock, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.

5. 5

   Slow Cook

   Cover the pot and let the veal simmer for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until tender, stirring occasionally.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove the veal from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the sauce and vegetables over mashed potatoes or polenta.
