Instructions
Heat the oil in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. Season the veal shanks with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until well browned, about 4 minutes per side.
Add the bacon and butter to the casserole and cook over low heat until the bacon fat has been rendered, about 3 minutes.
Add the onion, carrot, celery, shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to moderately high and whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking, for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the wine and simmer for 4 minutes.
Add the stock and bring to a boil.
Return the veal shanks to the casserole and add the bay leaves, thyme and sage. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover and bake for 2 hours, or until the veal is very tender.
Transfer the shanks to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Increase the oven temperature to 50
On top of the stove, boil the cooking liquid until it is very flavorful, about 12 minutes. Strain into a medium saucepan and skim the fat from the surface. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Dip each veal shank into the sauce and place on a baking sheet. Roast the shanks on the top shelf of the oven until nicely glazed, about 5 minutes. Reheat the sauce if necessary.
Transfer the shanks to plates, spoon the sauce on top and serve.
