Instruction

Braise roasts

Preparation step 1

Preheat oven at 180° C hot air.

Rinse veal roast under cold running water, dry.

Preparation step 2

Cut the soup vegetables into small pieces and prepare them for the sauce.

Peel the garlic and shallots.

Preparation step 3

Heat a roaster, season the meat with salt and pepper and fry on all sides with sunflower oil.

Then remove and place on a plate.

Preparation step 4

Place the vegetables in the roaster and roast them, then roast them further with tomato paste, deglaze with red wine and veal stock.

Put the meat back into the roaster and put it in the oven covered with liquid and lid.

Optionally you can fill up with vegetable stock!

Preparation step 5

Put the morels in cold water and soak them.

Prepare white sauce

Preparation step 6

Cut the shallot into fine cubes.

Sweat with butter, bay leaf and pimento in a pot for 10 minutes at moderate heat.

Preparation step 7

Add the flour and let it sweat briefly without colour.

Then deglaze with cold white wine and cold vegetable stock and bring to the boil.

Let the cream run into the strongly boiling sauce and bring it to the boil.

Leave to ripen for 15 minutes next to the stove.

Preparation step 8

Pass the sauce through a fine sieve and prepare to serve.

Potatoes

Preparation step 9

Wash and peel the potatoes, cut them into quarters and shape them with a small knife.

Preparation step 10

Boil the potatoes in boiling salted water until soft, drain them and place them in a pan with the finely chopped parsley and butter.

Vegetables

Preparation step 11

Wash and prepare vegetables.

Cut the fennel into eighths, halve the zucchini lengthwise and cut into slices, peel the peppers or cut them with skin into 2.5 cm pieces.

Preparation step 12

Fry the vegetables one by one, one by variety, in a pan with the olive oil and then place them in a large bowl or a second pot.

The vegetables should still have bite after frying!

Finalize dark sauce

Preparation step 13

Remove the soft braised meat from the roaster, cooking time guide 1-1.5 hours.

Place the meat in the oven at 80 °C or let it rest in the oven.

Preparation step 14

Pass the sauce through a fine hair sieve into an extra pot.

I put the cooked vegetables on the compost.

Preparation step 15

Boil the veal sauce. Remove the morels from the water and stir in the starch.

Pour the starch water slowly into the boiling sauce, bring to the boil and thicken the sauce.

Preparation step 16

Halve the morels to taste and then place them in the sauce.

Boil the sauce again for at least 10 minutes.

Serving

Preparation step 17

Preheat the plates.

Heat side dishes and sauces. Season vegetables and potatoes with salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne pepper.

Optionally season with some sugar.

Preparation step 18

Cut the meat into slices and place on top.

Add vegetables and potatoes.

Nappe veal sauce with morels over the meat.

Mix the light sauce with ice-cold butter until frothy and nappe some foam over the morels.

Preparation step 19

Quickly serve good appetite!

When will the roast be ready? Prick the meat with a thin fork or needle. If colourless meat juice comes out, the meat is cooked.

Recommendation: Switch off the oven and let the roast rest for a good 10 minutes before cutting.

This time I used the technical term “nappe” when describing the preparation. “Napping” means to cover the food with the sauce.

3. What Meat are you Buying for the Roast Veal

Several pieces of meat can be used for the fine braised beef:

  • Leg of veal
  • Saddle of veal
  • Veal Neck
  • Breast of veal
  • Veal nut
  • Knuckle of veal

The veal breast can be braised in a short time. The back is particularly fine, the knuckle a gourmet!

Recommends cook Thomas Sixt

4. Further Ingredients for the Roast

In addition to the meat, you need some other important ingredients to braise the meat and create a good sauce:

  • Soup vegetables
  • Tomato paste
  • Veal stock
  • Vegetable broth
  • Salt, pepper, pimento
  • Morels
  • Cream
  • Cornstarch
  • Dry red wine
  • Butter

 

You can prepare the veal stock yourself or buy a stock in a glass. Of course, home-made veal stock is always better and you can find the recipe for veal stock here.

Morels and calf are the finest combination!

Recommendation from cook Thomas Sixt
Morel sauce - based on veal stock.
A classic morel jus – the morel sauce is prepared on the basis of veal stock or veal jus.

5. Side dishes for Roast Veal

In addition to the inserts presented below, you can also combine other selected inserts:

Besides the side dishes presented below, potato gratin and ratatouille are my first choice. Such a dish was prepared by star chef Heinz Winkler.

6. Insider Tip for Morel Sauce

The strong veal sauce can be accompanied by a light, frothy sauce. This sauce is smart and quick to prepare and brings an extra magic to your plate.

You can then serve the morels either in veal stock or in the light sauce. Both taste simply amazing!

Morel scum or truffle scum… the light and airy fine sauces complement this dish and conjure up stars.

Tells us the cook Thomas Sixt
Potato soup as finger food in the cup.
Foamed flatters the palate. You can also apply this cooking technique to soup. Here I have served potato soup as finger food. Foaming with the blender works best with ice-cold butter and without any chemicals! The soup fits thematically: Serve it as first course before the braised meat!

7. Proper Braising

Before we dedicate ourselves to the preparation, I would like to write you a few important lines about “proper stewing”. These are basic things of a classical preparation technique from the professional kitchen.

This is how the “real stewing” works, as we cooks learn it in training. You can use this method of preparation for all subsequent dishes:

Professionally correct braising allows your meat to cook evenly and the result will certainly give you pleasure.

Proper braising: With lid and heat from all sides.

Recommendation from chef Thomas Sixt
Ossobuco
Ossobuco are braised slices of veal leg, a typical dish of Italian cuisine.
