3 Easy Steps To Braising Veal

  1. Remove veal from refrigerator. Lightly coat veal with seasoned flour if desired. Slowly brown veal, in batches when appropriate, on all sides in small amount of oil in heavy pan. Pour off drippings. Season veal as desired.
  2. Add small amount (1/2 to 2 cups) liquid (e.g. broth, water, juice and/or wine) to pan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat.
  3. Cover tightly and simmer gently over low heat on top of the range, or in a preheated 325°F oven, until veal is fork-tender. (It is not necessary to turn the veal over during cooking.) The cooking liquid may be thickened or reduced, as desired.
