directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F/170°C.

Step 2

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat. Sear veal on all sides in batches. Do not crowd the pan or the meat will just steam. Once you’ve seared each batch, use a slotted spoon to remove the meat and set aside. Continue this process until all the meat is seared.

Step 3

Once the meat is all seared, remove most of the oil from the Dutch oven. Sauté the mushrooms until golden and the onion, sauté for another 2-3 minutes, adding oil as needed. Add the garlic and sherry and deglaze the pan (scrape the bottom to incorporate the stuck on bits) and stir for a few more minutes to bring out the flavors.

Step 4

Return veal to the pot. Add the tomato paste, toss and add the water and Bovril/beef bouillon. Add the rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt & pepper and mix well. Cover and cook over low heat for 5-10 minutes before placing in the oven.

Step 5

Roast, covered for about 45 minutes and taste for seasoning. Add the peas 5 minutes or so before serving.

Great served over garlicky egg noodles, rice or couscous to sop up the gravy.
