Preparation steps
1.
Season the veal with salt and pepper. Dust the veal pieces with flour, shaking off any excess. Heat olive oil and butter in a Dutch oven. Increase the heat to medium-high and brown the veal in the oil and butter for about 5 minutes on each side or until well browned. Transfer the veal shanks to a plate; set aside.
2.
Add the onion, celery and carrots to the Dutch oven. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme. Continue cooking until the vegetables begin to brown, an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
3.
Place the veal shanks back in the pan. Add the wine, tomatoes, bay leaf, and stock. Cover and bring to a simmer; cook until the meat is fork tender, about one hour to an hour and a half.
