Ingredients

• 2 lbs veal roast
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
• 3 medium carrots
• 3 stalks celery stalks
• 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
• 1 large yellow onion
• 1 cup vegetable or beef broth
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp thyme (fresh or dried)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Pat the veal roast dry with paper towels. Season it generously on all sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the veal roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and crush the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife. Roughly chop the carrots, celery, and onion. Leave the baby potatoes whole or halve them if they are larger.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Toss in the garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Lay the browned veal roast on top of the vegetables in the skillet. Add the baby potatoes around the roast, and tuck in the rosemary sprigs.

Step 7

Pour the vegetable or beef broth over the roast, then drizzle the balsamic vinegar on top. Sprinkle the thyme over the entire dish and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 8

Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 1 hour.

Step 9

After 1 hour, uncover the skillet and baste the roast with the juices in the pan. Continue cooking uncovered for another 30-45 minutes until the internal temperature of the veal reaches 145°F (63°C) using a meat thermometer.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the veal roast alongside the tender roasted vegetables, and spoon some of the pan juices over for extra flavor.
